Contradiction with Isaiah 49:15
While Hosea 2:4 speaks of God not having mercy on the children, Isaiah 49:15 emphasizes God's unfailing compassion and remembrance even more than a mother's love for her child.
Isaiah 49:15: Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. [that...: Heb. from having compassion]
Contradiction with Psalm 103:13
Hosea 2:4 indicates God's lack of mercy, whereas Psalm 103:13 shows God as a compassionate father with pity on his children.
Psalm 103:13: Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9
In Hosea 2:4, God withholds mercy, but 2 Peter 3:9 describes God as patient and not willing for any to perish, indicating enduring mercy.
2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Paradox #1
Hosea 2:4 could present a contradiction or inconsistency because it talks about holding children accountable for the actions of their parents. This could conflict with the idea that individuals should only be responsible for their own actions. In some views, it might seem unfair or unjust to punish someone for something they did not do themselves.
