Check out Contradictions Catalog of Hosea 9:2 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Hosea 9:2. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Hosea, God is saying that there will be no food or drink because the people didn't listen to Him and did things that were not good. It's like when you don't clean up your toys, and then you can't find them to play with.

Hosea 9:2: The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her. [winepress: or, winefat]

Contradiction with Joel 2:24

This verse states that "the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil," which contradicts Hosea 9:2's message of deprivation of corn and wine.

Joel 2:24: And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.

Contradiction with Psalm 104:15

This verse suggests that wine is provided to "gladden the heart of man," opposing the idea in Hosea 9:2 that wine is withholden.

Psalm 104:15: And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man's heart. [oil...: Heb. to make his face shine with oil, or, more than oil]

Contradiction with John 16:24

This verse speaks about having joy fulfilled, in contrast to Hosea 9:2, where joy from corn and wine is absent.

Contradiction with Zechariah 8:12

This verse asserts the promise of sowing peace, where the vine shall give her fruit, the ground shall increase, and the heavens shall yield their dew, which contradicts Hosea 9:2's notion of a withheld yield.

Zechariah 8:12: For the seed [shall be] prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these [things]. [prosperous: Heb. of peace]
