Contradiction with Isaiah 41:10
This verse promises that God will support and uphold His people, which contradicts the notion of scattering them and erasing their memory.

Contradiction with Hebrews 13:5
This verse promises that God will never leave nor forsake His people, contrasting with the idea of scattering them to forgetfulness.

Contradiction with Matthew 28:20
Jesus promises to be with His disciples always, directly contrasting the idea of abandoning them to be forgotten.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:35-37
This passage reassures that God will never reject the descendants of Israel, contrary to the threat of making them cease from among men.
Jeremiah 31:35-37: Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name:
Contradiction with Psalm 94:14
This verse states that the Lord will not abandon His people, in contrast to the potential abandonment described in Deuteronomy 32:26.
Psalm 94:14: For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
Paradox #1
The verse suggests the idea of scattering a people and erasing their identity. The contradiction could be in how this contrasts with God's promises of protection and permanence to His people found elsewhere in the Bible. This seeming inconsistency might confuse readers about the nature of those promises and the conditions under which they are given.
Paradox #2
Deuteronomy 32:26 could raise a contradiction because it talks about punishment or destruction of people, which might seem inconsistent with the messages of love, forgiveness, and mercy that are also present in the Bible. This could create a conflict between justice and compassion.
