Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:8
This verse describes a tree planted by the waters, not suffering in drought and always fruitful, which contrasts with the withered and fruitless condition described in Ezekiel 19:13.
Jeremiah 17:8: For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. [drought: or, restraint]
Contradiction with Psalm 1:3
This verse depicts a prosperous tree planted by rivers of water, bringing forth fruit in its season and whose leaf does not wither, contradicting the desolation and dryness in Ezekiel 19:13.
Psalm 1:3: And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. [wither: Heb. fade]
Contradiction with Matthew 7:17
This verse talks about a good tree bringing forth good fruit, in contrast to the vine in Ezekiel 19:13, which is barren and fruitless.
Matthew 7:17: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Paradox #1
This verse may contradict themes of hope and restoration that are also present in the Bible, as it describes a state of desolation and loss without immediate signs of redemption. It may seem inconsistent with messages of God's continual care and renewal for His people elsewhere in the scriptures.
