Contradiction with Isaiah 66:9
This verse speaks of God bringing forth birth, whereas Hosea 13:13 metaphorically describes Ephraim as a child who does not come to the birth, indicating lost opportunity and failure.
Isaiah 66:9: Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut [the womb]? saith thy God. [not...: or, not beget?]
Contradiction with John 16:21
This verse describes the joy following successful birth, contradicting Hosea 13:13, where the child (Ephraim) fails to be born, signifying missed redemption.
John 16:21: A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
Contradiction with Isaiah 37:3
This verse states it is a day of trouble and of rebuke as children come to birth with strength exhausted, which differs from Hosea 13:13 where the child does not even reach the birth, representing a complete failure.
Isaiah 37:3: And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth. [blasphemy: or, provocation]
Contradiction with Revelation 12:2
This verse depicts a woman in pain and travail, about to give birth, contrasting with Hosea 13:13 where there is no successful birth, signifying unfulfilled potential and promise.
Revelation 12:2: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
