Isaiah 22:24: And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. [vessels of flagons: or, instruments of viols]

Contradiction with Proverbs 11:1

This verse emphasizes the Lord's disdain for dishonesty and false scales, which could contradict the accumulation of responsibilities and burdens as a "glorious throne" in Isaiah 22:24, suggesting an imbalance of power or responsibility.

Proverbs 11:1: A false balance [is] abomination to the LORD: but a just weight [is] his delight. [A false...: Heb. Balances of deceit] [just...: Heb. perfect stone]

Contradiction with Matthew 23:12

This verse highlights the principle of humility and exaltation by God, which may contradict the imagery of honor and burden in Isaiah 22:24 that comes from earthly lineage and position.

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

Encourages humility for lifting up by the Lord, potentially contrasting with the bestowed glory and burden-sharing of descendants in Isaiah 22:24, which might imply human-centric exaltation.

James 4:10: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
