Contradiction with Job 4:8
This verse suggests that those who sow trouble will reap trouble, contrasting with Isaiah 33:11 in which those who conceive and bring forth stubble may not see their endeavors come into fruition or bring forth success.
Job 4:8: Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
Contradiction with Galatians 6:7
This verse states that a man reaps what he sows, which contradicts Isaiah 33:11 as it implies that actions will yield results, unlike the stubble mentioned in Isaiah that suggests futility.
Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Contradiction with Hosea 8:7
This verse states that sowing the wind results in reaping the whirlwind, implying that actions have direct results, contradicting Isaiah 33:11 which speaks of fruitless labor resulting in chaff and stubble.
Hosea 8:7: For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. [stalk: or, standing corn]
Contradiction with Matthew 7:17-18
These verses speak about good trees bringing forth good fruit, contrasting with Isaiah 33:11's notion of conceiving chaff and bringing forth stubble, implying worthless or futile outcomes.
Matthew 7:17-18: Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Contradiction with Proverbs 22:8
This verse mentions that he who sows wickedness reaps trouble, contrasting with Isaiah 33:11 that implies efforts resulting in nothing substantial or enduring.
Proverbs 22:8: He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail. [the rod...: or, with the rod of his anger he shall be consumed]
Paradox #1
The contradiction in Isaiah 33:11 might be seen in the context of producing something destructive from efforts that seem futile or misguided. This could conflict with the notion of a benevolent and purposeful plan. If actions lead to destructive outcomes, it might seem inconsistent with a just and caring divine intervention.
