Contradiction with Matthew 23:37
Jesus expresses sorrow over Jerusalem indicating a lack of protection or recognition, which can be seen as a contradiction to the promise of God's constant presence and commitment to His people in Ezekiel 34:30.
Matthew 23:37: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not!
Contradiction with Jeremiah 14:9

Contradiction with Proverbs 15:29

Proverbs 15:29: The LORD [is] far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:15
God declares He will hide His eyes and not hear their prayers, contrasting with the clear and reassuring presence promised in Ezekiel 34:30.

Contradiction with Psalm 22:1
David feels forsaken by God, which contradicts the idea that they will always know God is with them in Ezekiel 34:30.
Psalm 22:1: [To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.] My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? [why art thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring? [Aijeleth...: or, the hind of the morning] [helping...: Heb. my salvation]
