Contradiction with Psalm 90:2
Describes God as eternal and without a beginning, while Deuteronomy 32:40 speaks of God lifting His hand to swear by His eternal life, implying an action bound by time.

Asserts that God is not a man that He should lie or repent, contrasting with the anthropomorphic depiction in Deuteronomy 32:40 of God swearing an oath.

Contradiction with James 1:17
States that God does not change like shifting shadows, whereas Deuteronomy 32:40 implies changeable action through making an oath.
James 1:17: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Contradiction with Malachi 3:6
Declares that God does not change, while Deuteronomy 32:40 suggests a human-like action of swearing an oath.

Indicates that God, having no one greater to swear by, swore by Himself, as similar oaths are rare, contrasting the unique expression in Deuteronomy 32:40.
Hebrews 6:13: For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
