Contradiction with Deuteronomy 31:8
This verse emphasizes that the Lord will never forsake His people, which contradicts with the notion of God allowing His people to be given up for disobedience in Isaiah 42:24.
Deuteronomy 31:8: And the LORD, he [it is] that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.
Contradiction with Hebrews 13:5
The promise of God never leaving nor forsaking His people contrasts with the implication of abandonment in Isaiah 42:24.
Hebrews 13:5: [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Contradiction with James 1:13
Suggests that God does not lead people into temptation or sin, conflicting with the idea of God delivering them over to robbers due to sin in Isaiah 42:24.
James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]
Contradiction with Psalm 46:1
Describes God as a present help in trouble, seemingly at odds with the notion of punishment and being handed over for disobedience.
Psalm 46:1: [To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.] God [is] our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. [for: or, of]
Contradiction with Lamentations 3:22-23
Highlights God's unfailing compassions and mercies, which stands against the judgment seen in Isaiah 42:24.
Lamentations 3:22-23: [It is of] the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
Contradiction with 1 John 1:9
States that if we confess sins, God is faithful to forgive, which appears to counter the judgment aspect in Isaiah 42:24.
1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in Isaiah 42:24 might arise from the idea of God allowing or causing hardship because people are disobedient. Some people could question why a loving and just God would punish or allow suffering as a response to disobedience, rather than focusing on forgiveness or support. This could seem inconsistent with the idea of unconditional love.
