Contradiction with Job 1:21
This verse reflects Job's acknowledgment of losing his prosperity, saying, "The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away," which contradicts Joseph's statement of God making him fruitful.
Job 1:21: And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
Contradiction with Job 14:1
This verse highlights human suffering: "Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble," contrasting with Joseph's acknowledgment of being fruitful despite affliction.
Job 14:1: Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of trouble. [few...: Heb. short of days]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:14
This verse suggests considering prosperity and adversity as both part of God's plan, "In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider," which juxtaposes Joseph's view of being solely blessed in his affliction.
Ecclesiastes 7:14: In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. [set: Heb. made]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:2
Here, all is considered vanity and weariness, "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity," conflicting with Joseph's positive reflection on his fortunes.
Ecclesiastes 1:2: Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity.
Contradiction with John 16:33
Jesus tells His followers, "In the world ye shall have tribulation," emphasizing ongoing trials rather than the triumph Joseph speaks of in Genesis 41:52.
John 16:33: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
