Contradictions and Paradoxes in Isaiah 25:12

Check out Contradictions Catalog of Isaiah 25:12 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Isaiah 25:12. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Isaiah, God will destroy the strong walls that people build to protect themselves, bringing them down to the ground. This means that no matter how powerful we think we are, God is even stronger and can change anything.

Isaiah 25:12: And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust.

Contradiction with Proverbs 16:18

This verse says "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall," which aligns with the theme of Isaiah 25:12 about bringing down pride, but contradicts if interpreted that pride leads to downfall as a natural consequence rather than a direct act of divine intervention.

Proverbs 16:18: Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Contradiction with James 4:6

This verse says "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble," which contrasts Isaiah 25:12 if viewed as stressing the emphasis on God's grace and support for the humble rather than focusing solely on His actions against the proud.

James 4:6: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Contradiction with Romans 12:3

In Romans Paul advises not to think more highly of oneself than one should, encouraging self-assessment and humility. This advice seems to advocate for humility from personal initiative and self-awareness, contradicted by Isaiah 25:12's direct intervention by God to humble the proud.

Romans 12:3: For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. [soberly: Gr. to sobriety]
