Contradictions and Paradoxes in Ezekiel 13:14

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Ezekiel 13:14 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Ezekiel 13:14. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Ezekiel, God is saying He will tear down the weak wall the people have built without using strong materials, so everyone will see that the wall is not safe. When the wall falls, people will understand that God is powerful and should be listened to.

Ezekiel 13:14: So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [morter], and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be discovered, and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 23:16

This verse warns against false prophets who speak visions of their own mind, while Ezekiel 13:14 discusses the tearing down of walls built by false prophets implying divine judgment.

Jeremiah 23:16: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, [and] not out of the mouth of the LORD.

Contradiction with Matthew 7:15

Provides a warning against false prophets who appear trustworthy but are deceitful, in contrast to Ezekiel 13:14 which metaphorically describes the destruction of deceit without focusing on appearance.

Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21

Advises believers not to despise prophecies and to test everything, which suggests a more nuanced approach than the outright denouncement in Ezekiel 13:14.

1 Thessalonians 5:20-21: Despise not prophesyings.

Paradox #1

Ezekiel 13:14 talks about God demolishing a wall built with flimsy materials by false prophets, symbolizing the exposure of their lies and deception. A possible contradiction could be the destruction itself, which might be seen as harsh or violent. Some might question if such destruction aligns with the broader messages of forgiveness and compassion found elsewhere in religious teachings.
