Contradiction with Genesis 6:6
Isaiah 40:28 states God does not get weary, while Genesis 6:6 describes God being grieved.
Genesis 6:6: And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
Contradiction with Exodus 31:17
Isaiah 40:28 claims God does not rest, but Exodus 31:17 says He rested on the seventh day.
Exodus 31:17: It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Contradiction with Numbers 23:19
Contrasts with the idea of God being unchangeable in Isaiah 40:28, as Numbers 23:19 states God does not repent, but there are instances where Scripture suggests changes in God's actions.
Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Contradiction with Jonah 3:10
While Isaiah 40:28 suggests God remains steadfast and unchanging, Jonah 3:10 indicates God repented of the evil he planned.
Jonah 3:10: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
Paradox #1
Isaiah 40:28 speaks about God's eternal nature and strength. Some might see a contradiction with verses that describe God resting, like on the seventh day in Genesis, which could imply a need for rest. However, these interpretations often stem from different cultural contexts or literary styles. Understanding these different contexts can help resolve perceived inconsistencies.
