Contradiction with Isaiah 64:6
While Ezra 7:27 praises God for instilling wisdom and guiding actions, Isaiah 64:6 expresses the view that human righteousness and actions are as "filthy rags," suggesting a more skeptical view of human efforts aligning with God's will.
Isaiah 64:6: But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Contradiction with Proverbs 21:30
Ezra 7:27 attributes actions directly to divine influence, but Proverbs 21:30 states that there is no wisdom, understanding, or counsel against the Lord, which can imply human endeavors may not always align with divine will even if they seem divinely inspired.
Proverbs 21:30: [There is] no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
Ezra 7:27 acknowledges divine intervention in success, while Ecclesiastes 9:11 suggests that time and chance, rather than divine influence, govern human affairs.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
In Ezra 7:27, there is thanksgiving for divine influence, while Jeremiah 17:5 warns against placing trust in human leaders or their actions, even if perceived to be divinely directed.
Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
