Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:32
This verse states that God takes no pleasure in the death of anyone, contradicting the depiction of judgment in Isaiah 13:11.

Contradiction with 1 Timothy 2:4

1 Timothy 2:4: Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Paradox #1
Isaiah 13:11 may seem harsh in its depiction of judgment upon the world, which can appear inconsistent with other biblical themes of mercy and forgiveness found elsewhere in the Bible, such as in the teachings of Jesus about loving enemies and forgiving others. This can create a perceived contradiction between divine justice and mercy.
Paradox #2
Isaiah 13:11 speaks about punishing the world for its evil and the wicked for their sins. A contradiction could be seen in the idea of divine retribution affecting the entire world versus natural explanations for events. Science typically attributes natural disasters and events to physical causes rather than moral or divine intervention. This difference in understanding the cause of events can be seen as a conflict between the biblical account and a scientific perspective.
