Check out Contradictions Catalog of Jeremiah 10:11 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Jeremiah 10:11. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Jeremiah, people should tell others that the pretend gods who didn't create the world will go away and disappear. True Christians believe only the one real God made everything, like the sky and land.

Jeremiah 10:11: Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, [even] they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.

Contradiction with Psalm 96:5

This verse states that all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens, implying the existence of other gods, whereas Jeremiah 10:11 declares other gods shall perish.

Psalm 96:5: For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 6:4

This verse emphasizes the singularity of God by stating "The Lord our God is one Lord," contrasting with Jeremiah 10:11 which acknowledges the existence of other gods only to declare their impermanence.

Deuteronomy 6:4: Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:

Contradiction with Isaiah 44:6

God is stated as the only God and there is none else, contradicting Jeremiah 10:11 which appears to acknowledge other gods by discussing their fate.

Isaiah 44:6: Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God.

Contradiction with 1 Corinthians 8:4

This verse asserts that an idol is nothing in the world and there is no other God but one, in contrast to Jeremiah 10:11 which acknowledges other gods before dismissing them.

1 Corinthians 8:4: As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol [is] nothing in the world, and that [there is] none other God but one.

Paradox #1

Jeremiah 10:11 is unique because it is the only verse in the book of Jeremiah that is written in Aramaic, while the rest is in Hebrew. This can seem inconsistent or out of place since the sudden switch in language might confuse readers or raise questions about why this verse is different from the others.
