Contradiction with Isaiah 52:3
This verse speaks about redemption without money, which could contradict the idea of being oppressed and sold as described in Isaiah 52:4.
Isaiah 52:3: For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 5:19
This verse suggests that the people’s servitude is a consequence of their own actions, which may contradict the more passive narrative of being oppressed as in Isaiah 52:4.
Jeremiah 5:19: And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the LORD our God all these [things] unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land [that is] not yours.
Contradiction with Exodus 1:11
The verse discusses the Israelites being put into slavery in Egypt, expanding on the oppression idea but suggesting an intensification beyond immediate oppression.
Exodus 1:11: Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 23:8
This implies a willingness to engage with oppressors, contrasting with the victimhood described in Isaiah 52:4.
Ezekiel 23:8: Neither left she her whoredoms [brought] from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.
