Contradiction with Isaiah 40:4
Whereas Isaiah 10:33 speaks of the Lord cutting down the proud and lofty, Isaiah 40:4 talks about leveling and lifting up the valleys and making the uneven ground smooth, which implies restoration rather than destruction.
Isaiah 40:4: Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: [straight: or, a straight place] [plain: or, a plain place]
Contradiction with Psalm 75:6-7
Isaiah 10:33 describes God's judgment and humbling of the mighty, whereas Psalm 75:6-7 reminds us that promotion and power come not from human will but from God, who lifts up one and puts down another, suggesting a broader divine wisdom beyond mere judgment.
Psalm 75:6-7: For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. [south: Heb. desert]
Contradiction with Matthew 23:12
Isaiah 10:33 depicts the Lord laying low the haughty, while Matthew 23:12 speaks of those who humble themselves being exalted, highlighting a voluntary humility leading to exaltation rather than enforced humiliation.
Matthew 23:12: And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Contradiction with James 4:10
While Isaiah 10:33 discusses the toppling of the lofty, James 4:10 suggests a personal humbling before the Lord resulting in being lifted up, focusing on self-humbling rather than divine humbling.
James 4:10: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
