Contradiction with Psalm 1:3
This verse describes the righteous as trees planted by the rivers of water, which implies they are established, in contrast to Isaiah 40:24 which talks about people being easily removed or uprooted.
Psalm 1:3: And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. [wither: Heb. fade]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:8
This verse explains that a person who trusts in the Lord will be like a tree planted by the waters, not easily shaken, which contradicts Isaiah 40:24 where it speaks of people being swept away quickly.
Jeremiah 17:8: For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. [drought: or, restraint]
Contradiction with Matthew 15:13
Jesus says that every plant not planted by the Father will be uprooted, implying some plants (or people) are not easily removed if planted by God, which opposes the swift uprooting in Isaiah 40:24.
Matthew 15:13: But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.
Contradiction with Psalm 92:12-13
These verses state that the righteous will flourish like a palm tree, suggesting stability and strength, contradicting Isaiah 40:24’s imagery of things being blown away or removed easily.
Psalm 92:12-13: The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Contradiction with Job 14:7-9
Job describes hope for a tree if it is cut down, that it will sprout again. This implies resilience, contradicting Isaiah 40:24 that describes a swift end without new growth.
Job 14:7-9: For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
