Exodus 20:3: Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Contradiction with Jeremiah 2:13

Contrasts with Isaiah 46:3 by highlighting people's rejection of God as a source, opposing the care and carrying of the faithful described in Isaiah.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20

This verse speaks about individual responsibility for sin, which differs from the collective care and support depicted in Isaiah 46:3.

Contradiction with Psalm 115:4-8

This verse emphasizes serving only one master, while Isaiah 46:3 speaks of being carried by God, which implies reliance on God's singular support, seemingly in conflict with the divided focus described here.

Matthew 6:24: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
