Contradiction with Psalm 65:9
This verse describes God as nurturing and providing water to the earth, which contrasts with Isaiah 5:6 where God withholds rain.
Psalm 65:9: Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. [and...: or, after thou hadst made it to desire rain]
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:10
Here, rain is given to water the earth and make it fruitful, contradicting Isaiah 5:6 where rain is withheld.
Isaiah 55:10: For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Contradiction with Leviticus 26:4
This verse promises rain in due season, leading to fruitful land, which is opposite to the desolation in Isaiah 5:6.
Leviticus 26:4: Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
Contradiction with Zechariah 10:1
It encourages asking the Lord for rain in the time of rain, suggesting He will provide, in contrast to the withholding in Isaiah 5:6.
Zechariah 10:1: Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; [so] the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. [bright...: or, lightnings]
Contradiction with Job 5:10
God gives rain upon the earth, opposing the lack of rain depicted in Isaiah 5:6.
Job 5:10: Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: [fields: Heb. outplaces]
Contradiction with Jeremiah 5:24
Acknowledges God as the one who provides rain and fruitful seasons, which contradicts the barrenness in Isaiah 5:6.
Jeremiah 5:24: Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
God sends rain on the just and unjust, unlike Isaiah 5:6 where rain is withheld.
Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Paradox #1
Isaiah 5:6 talks about making a vineyard desolate, which could be seen as inconsistent with themes of mercy and care found elsewhere in the Bible. Destroying something deliberately might conflict with messages of compassion and nurturing.
