Contradiction with Jeremiah 3:8
This verse explains how God gave Israel a bill of divorce for their unfaithfulness, suggesting God indeed issued a form of separation contrary to Isaiah 50:1 where it suggests no such bill of divorcement exists.
Jeremiah 3:8: And I saw, when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery I had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Contradiction with Hosea 2:2
This verse contradicts Isaiah 50:1 by implying a form of disownment or separation through the demand for Israel to put away her adulteries, contrasting with the notion of no divorce.
Hosea 2:2: Plead with your mother, plead: for she [is] not my wife, neither [am] I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in this context could arise from the fact that Isaiah 50:1 mentions a metaphorical "certificate of divorce" and "creditors," yet historically, Israel's exile was not due to literal divorce or financial debt. Instead, it was because of their disobedience and breaking of their covenant with God. This metaphor might seem inconsistent if taken literally instead of being understood as a symbolic expression.
