Check out Contradictions Catalog of Isaiah 26:12 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Isaiah 26:12. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to the prophet Isaiah, God will give us peace because He is the one who helps us do all the good things we do. It's like saying God is a special helper who makes everything better for us.

Isaiah 26:12: LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. [in us: or, for us]

Contradiction with Proverbs 16:9

While Isaiah 26:12 acknowledges that God ordains peace, Proverbs 16:9 suggests man's heart directs his path, implying human agency rather than divine determination.

Proverbs 16:9: A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 10:23

Isaiah 26:12 indicates God establishes peace for us, whereas Jeremiah 10:23 states that it is not in man's way to direct his steps, implying reliance on God's guidance conflicts with the idea of human-directed outcomes.

Jeremiah 10:23: O LORD, I know that the way of man [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man that walketh to direct his steps.

Contradiction with Psalm 127:1

This verse suggests the efforts of those without God's blessing are in vain, differing from Isaiah 26:12’s assurance of God’s ordained peace irrespective of human actions.

Psalm 127:1: [A Song of degrees for Solomon.] Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh [but] in vain. [for...: or, of Solomon] [that...: Heb. that are builders of it in it]

Contradiction with Romans 8:28

While Isaiah 26:12 speaks of peace ordained by God, Romans 8:28 emphasizes all things (not just peace) work for good to those who love God, suggesting a broader providential oversight.

Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
