Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:5
This verse states that the dead know nothing, contradicting Isaiah 38:19 that suggests living individuals are aware and can praise God.
Ecclesiastes 9:5: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
Contradiction with Psalm 6:5
It claims there is no remembrance of God in death, conflicting with the idea in Isaiah 38:19 that the living can express their faithfulness.
Psalm 6:5: For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
Contradiction with Isaiah 26:14
This verse declares that the dead shall not live, which contrasts with the implication in Isaiah 38:19 that life allows for the acknowledgment and praise of God.
Isaiah 26:14: [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
Contradiction with Job 14:10-12
It describes humans as ceasing to exist after death, opposing the notion in Isaiah 38:19 about the living recognizing God's truth.
Job 14:10-12: But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where [is] he? [wasteth...: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off]
Contradiction with Psalm 115:17
States that the dead do not praise the Lord, directly contradicting the emphasis on the living praising God in Isaiah 38:19.
Psalm 115:17: The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
