Contradictions and Paradoxes in Ezekiel 31:14

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Ezekiel 31:14 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Ezekiel 31:14. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Ezekiel, this means that no tree should grow too tall and be too proud, because all trees will one day fall down and go underground, just like all people who eventually die. This is to remind us not to be too proud or think we are better than others, because everyone is the same in the end.

Ezekiel 31:14: To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. [their trees...: or, stand upon themselves for their height]

Contradiction with Matthew 23:12

This verse states that those who humble themselves shall be exalted, which contrasts with Ezekiel 31:14 where the height is a reason for downfall, emphasizing humility leads to elevation.

Matthew 23:12: And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Paradox #1

This verse suggests that the proud and lofty will be brought down, which can seem in conflict with the idea of redemption and forgiveness found elsewhere. If pride leads to inevitable downfall, it may contradict messages of second chances offered in other parts of the Bible.
