Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
This verse says, "Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord," differing from the unconditional trust in the Lord promoted in Isaiah 26:4.
Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Contradiction with Psalm 146:3
"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help." This contradicts Isaiah 26:4 by emphasizing not trusting in man for aid, although Isaiah supports relying entirely on God's strength.
Psalm 146:3: Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help. [help: or, salvation]
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5
While not a direct contradiction, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding" can be seen to differentiate between trust in God versus human understanding rather than the everlasting strength in Isaiah 26:4.
Proverbs 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:19-20
These verses discuss laying up treasures in heaven rather than on earth, which could contradict the focus solely on trust presented in Isaiah 26:4 by adding another layer of heavenly focus.
Matthew 6:19-20: Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Contradiction with Psalm 28:7
This verse states, "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped", which aligns closely with Isaiah 26:4 in terms of God providing strength, but contradicts by implying a personal shield rather than just relying on everlasting strength.
Psalm 28:7: The LORD [is] my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Contradiction with Isaiah 30:1-2
"Woe to the rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not of me..." These verses present a caution against seeking counsel elsewhere, which could imply a contradiction by presenting additional actions alongside simply trusting God's strength.
Isaiah 30:1-2: Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
Contradiction with Job 8:14-15
"Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web." This metaphor about precarious trust could contradict the unwavering and everlasting strength mentioned in Isaiah 26:4.
Job 8:14-15: Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust [shall be] a spider's web. [web: Heb. house]
