Contradiction with Isaiah 23:15
This verse predicts that Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years and then songs will resurface, while Ezekiel 26:13 predicts an end to the sound of songs in Tyre.
Isaiah 23:15: And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. [shall Tyre...: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot]
Contradiction with Isaiah 23:17
This verse suggests that after seventy years, Tyre will return to its former trade and activities, including music, contradicting the total cessation of music in Ezekiel 26:13.
Isaiah 23:17: And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.
Paradox #1
Ezekiel 26:13 mentions that the sound of music will stop, which can seem inconsistent with other parts of the Bible that celebrate music and its role in worship and joy. In other sections, music is often depicted as a positive expression of praise to God. This contrast between music being silenced as a punishment in Ezekiel and celebrated elsewhere can appear contradictory.
Paradox #2
Ezekiel's prophecy about the destruction of Tyre includes predicting that the city would never be rebuilt. However, historical records show Tyre was eventually rebuilt and became prosperous again. This creates a contradiction between the prophecy and historical events.
