Contradiction with Genesis 1:31
Describes God seeing everything He made and declaring it very good, contrasting with Isaiah 24:1, which speaks of the earth being laid waste.
Genesis 1:31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. [And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.]
Contradiction with Genesis 8:21
God promises not to curse the ground anymore or destroy every living thing, opposing Isaiah 24:1 where destruction is imminent.
Genesis 8:21: And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart [is] evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done. [a sweet...: Heb. a savour of rest or, satisfaction] [for the imagination: or, through the imagination]
Contradiction with Psalm 104:5
States that God set the earth on its foundations so it should not be moved forever, contradicting the upheaval in Isaiah 24:1.
Psalm 104:5: [Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever. [Who...: Heb. He hath founded the earth upon her bases]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:4

Ecclesiastes 1:4: [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:35-37
Declares the fixed order of creation, countering the disruption in Isaiah 24:1.
Jeremiah 31:35-37: Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name:
Contradiction with Matthew 5:18
States that not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law until all is fulfilled, implying stability versus the chaos in Isaiah 24:1.
Matthew 5:18: For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Paradox #1
Isaiah 24:1 describes God as causing destruction to the earth. Some people might see a contradiction between this depiction and the idea of a benevolent and loving God. They might struggle with reconciling a God who cares for creation with actions that seem harsh or destructive.
Paradox #2
Isaiah 24:1 describes the Earth as being drastically altered or emptied out, which might conflict with the scientific understanding that the Earth itself doesn't change in such a sudden or extreme way naturally. Geological and environmental changes usually occur over long periods.
Paradox #3
Isaiah 24:1 talks about God making the earth empty and scattering its inhabitants. A contradiction some might see here is the idea of a loving and just God causing widespread destruction and upheaval. People could question how a benevolent deity could justify such actions that affect innocent people along with the guilty. This can seem inconsistent with other Biblical teachings about God's goodness and mercy.
