Contradiction with Isaiah 35:6-7
Isaiah 35:6-7 speaks of the desert blossoming and waters breaking forth, which contrasts with Isaiah 11:15's depiction of drying up the tongue of the Egyptian sea and causing rivers to become dry, suggesting different treatments of water and land transformation.
Isaiah 35:6-7: Then shall the lame [man] leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 47:8-9
Ezekiel 47:8-9 describes waters flowing from the temple bringing life and healing to the sea, which is opposite to Isaiah 11:15's imagery of drying up and destruction of bodies of water.
Ezekiel 47:8-9: Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: [which being] brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. [desert: or, plain]
Contradiction with Revelation 22:1-2
Revelation 22:1-2 talks about a pure river of water of life flowing from the throne of God, promoting life and healing, contrary to Isaiah 11:15's mention of drying waters as a form of judgement or intervention.
Revelation 22:1-2: And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Contradiction with Psalm 107:35
Psalm 107:35 describes God turning the wilderness into standing water and dry ground into water springs, offering a contrasting image to Isaiah 11:15's drying up of water as part of His divine action.
Psalm 107:35: He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
Contradiction with Exodus 14:21-22
Exodus 14:21-22 recounts God parting the Red Sea to save Israel, involving water removal for salvation, but not destruction as suggested by Isaiah 11:15.
Exodus 14:21-22: And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided.
Paradox #1
Isaiah 11:15 talks about God drying up the sea and making a path for people to cross. Some might find a contradiction because this is similar to the story of the parting of the Red Sea in the Book of Exodus. Critics might argue that these events are unlikely to have happened as described due to lack of historical or scientific evidence. Additionally, different biblical accounts of similar events can seem inconsistent. However, believers might see this as a symbolic or prophetic message rather than a literal contradiction.
