Contradiction with Jeremiah 23:28
While Ezekiel 11:1 describes a prophetic vision involving specific leaders in Jerusalem, Jeremiah emphasizes that true prophets should speak God's word, implying a potential discrepancy in the nature or role of false leaders.
Jeremiah 23:28: The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What [is] the chaff to the wheat? saith the LORD. [that hath a dream: Heb. with whom is, etc]
Contradiction with Isaiah 28:14-15

Contradiction with Matthew 23:37
Ezekiel 11:1 discusses leaders in Jerusalem, while Matthew depicts Jesus lamenting over Jerusalem's resistance, contrasting the hope and despair over the city's fate.

[assembly: or, secret, or, counsel]
Contradiction with Micah 3:11
Ezekiel 11:1 shows leaders under divine scrutiny, whereas Micah criticizes leaders for corruption but with a promise of hope, highlighting different prophetic tones.
Micah 3:11: The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, [Is] not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. [and say: Heb. saying]
