Contradiction with Matthew 5:39

This verse contradicts Isaiah 1:25 by promoting non-violence and forgiveness, whereas Isaiah 1:25 speaks of purging and removal of impurities through punishment.

Matthew 5:39: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Contradiction with James 1:5

This verse suggests that God gives wisdom generously to all without reproach, contrasting with Isaiah 1:25's theme of punishment and wrath to remove dross.

James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

This could conflict with the concept of forgiveness and compassion, central to many spiritual teachings.
