Contradiction with Jeremiah 7:16
This verse instructs not to pray for the people, contrasting with the deliverance mentioned in Isaiah 57:13.
Jeremiah 7:16: Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee.
Contradiction with Psalm 146:3
Advises not to put trust in princes or mortal men, contrasting with trusting in one's collection of idols as mentioned in Isaiah 57:13.
Psalm 146:3: Put not your trust in princes, [nor] in the son of man, in whom [there is] no help. [help: or, salvation]
Contradiction with Ezekiel 14:3
Warns against setting up idols in one's heart, contradicting Isaiah 57:13 where idol collection does not provide deliverance.
Ezekiel 14:3: Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them?
Contradiction with Hosea 13:4
Emphasizes no savior besides the Lord, conflicting with Isaiah 57:13 where people look to their idols for deliverance.
Hosea 13:4: Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for [there is] no saviour beside me.
Paradox #1
The contradiction might arise from the idea that people who rely on idols or false gods are expected to be let down, while those who seek refuge in God are promised protection and blessings. This could be seen as inconsistent with the notion of unconditional love or support, as it suggests that help is conditional based on one's faith or beliefs.
