Contradiction with Proverbs 16:33
While Genesis 30:42 describes Jacob's selective breeding process, this verse states that "The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord," suggesting outcomes are determined by divine will, not human action.
Proverbs 16:33: The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof [is] of the LORD.

Genesis 30:42 involves efforts to control outcomes, while this verse rhetorically asks, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" emphasizing the futility of human control over life's outcomes.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
Whereas Genesis 30:42 implies Jacob's actions directly affected his success, this verse observes, "the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong," indicating that chance also plays a role in success.
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 Proverbs 19:21
This verse states, "There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand," contrasting with Jacob's plans in Genesis 30:42 by highlighting God's ultimate authority over human intentions.
