Contradiction with Jeremiah 29:11
While Hosea 2:15 speaks of a transformation of a place of trouble into hope, Jeremiah 29:11 directly assures a plan for welfare and a hopeful future, rather than beginning from a troublesome point.
Jeremiah 29:11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. [expected...: Heb. end and expectation]
Contradiction with Revelation 21:4
Hosea 2:15 mentions a transformation in the present world, whereas Revelation 21:4 focuses on the complete removal of sorrow and pain in the heavenly future, without reference to current struggles.
Revelation 21:4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Hosea 2:15 emphasizes transformation within a specific narrative of hope, while Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 speaks to a time for every purpose under heaven, implying cycles rather than a one-time change.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8: To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
Contradiction with Isaiah 5:20
Hosea 2:15 turns a valley of trouble into an opportunity for hope, whereas Isaiah 5:20 warns against calling evil good, suggesting a clear distinction rather than transformation.

Contradiction with Job 3:26
Hosea 2:15 transforms a situation of trouble into hope, whereas Job 3:26 reflects a state of continuous unrest and lack of peace, without transformation.
Job 3:26: I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
