Contradiction with Amos 9:3
While Isaiah 2:19 speaks of people hiding from the terror of the Lord, Amos 9:3 highlights God's ability to find people anywhere, implying nowhere is safe to hide.
Amos 9:3: And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
Contradiction with Revelation 6:15-16
Isaiah 2:19 describes people hiding in caves, but Revelation 6:15-16 expands this idea, showing that all social classes hide, revealing a universal fear rather than just the fear of a specific group.
Revelation 6:15-16: And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
Contradiction with Jeremiah 23:24
Isaiah 2:19 implies that people can find a place to hide from God's wrath, whereas Jeremiah 23:24 asserts that no one can hide from God because He fills heaven and earth.
Jeremiah 23:24: Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.
Paradox #1

It could seem contradictory for people to hide from the presence or power of the very deity they might otherwise trust for refuge and guidance.
