Contradiction with Proverbs 11:14
Isaiah 9:14 discusses the leaders causing the people to err, while Proverbs 11:14 emphasizes the importance of having multiple counselors for safety, suggesting wise leadership.
Proverbs 11:14: Where no counsel [is], the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors [there is] safety.
Contradiction with Proverbs 24:6
Contrasts with Isaiah 9:14 in promoting victory and safety through numerous counselors, highlighting a different result of leadership and advice.
Proverbs 24:6: For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors [there is] safety.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 12:6-8
These verses describe Rehoboam rejecting wise counsel, indirectly leading to a different type of err from that in Isaiah 9:14, which attributes error to the leader's role.
1 Kings 12:6-8: And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, that stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, and said, How do ye advise that I may answer this people?
Contradiction with Jeremiah 23:1
While Isaiah 9:14 implies leadership causing downfall, Jeremiah 23:1 warns about the downfall to the leaders harming their flocks, aligning with the responsibility but distinguishing accountability.
Jeremiah 23:1: Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.
Contradiction with Micah 3:1-3
Highlights corrupt leaders as Isaiah 9:14 does, but Micah gives a vivid description of their deeds, directly blaming them unlike the more structural fault in Isaiah.
Micah 3:1-3: And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; [Is it] not for you to know judgment?
Contradiction with Ezekiel 34:2-4
Like Isaiah 9:14, this verse addresses failing leadership, yet the contradiction lies in Ezekiel's call for divine intervention versus Isaiah's attribution of judgment.
Ezekiel 34:2-4: Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe [be] to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
Contradiction with Isaiah 3:12
Similar theme where leaders cause the people to err, but the contradiction could be drawn from the particular instance of children and women being leaders instead of elders.
Isaiah 3:12: [As for] my people, children [are] their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause [thee] to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. [lead...: or, call thee blessed] [destroy: Heb. swallow up]
