Contradiction with Genesis 1:31
Contradicts Isaiah 34:11's depiction of desolation, as Genesis 1:31 describes God seeing everything He made as very good.
Genesis 1:31: And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, [it was] very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. [And the evening...: Heb. And the evening was, and the morning was etc.]
Contradiction with Psalm 24:1

Psalm 24:1: [A Psalm of David.] The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:18
States God did not create the Earth in vain, implying it shouldn't be left desolate, conflicting with Isaiah 34:11.
Isaiah 45:18: For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 29:11
Emphasizes plans to prosper and not harm, contrasting with the message of judgment and devastation in Isaiah 34:11.
Jeremiah 29:11: For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. [expected...: Heb. end and expectation]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:5
Suggests the meek shall inherit the Earth, which opposes the idea of the land being rendered desolate.
Matthew 5:5: Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Contradiction with John 3:16
Promises everlasting life, contrasting with Isaiah 34:11's theme of destruction.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Paradox #1
Isaiah 34:11 describes a desolate land occupied by specific animals, symbolizing emptiness and chaos after divine judgment. The contradiction or conflict might arise if one contrasts this depiction of destruction with the message of compassion, mercy, and redemption found elsewhere in the Bible. Some might see a conflict between the harshness of this judgment and the broader themes of forgiveness and hope in other biblical texts.
