Contradiction with Isaiah 54:8
Explains God's everlasting kindness and mercy, contrary to the theme of rejection and withdrawal of support in Jeremiah 15:6.
Isaiah 54:8: In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 7:14
Suggests if people humble themselves and turn from evil, God will forgive and heal, contrasting with the irrevocable rejection in Jeremiah 15:6.
2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. [which...: Heb. upon whom my name is called]
Contradiction with Psalm 86:5
Describes God's readiness to forgive, and mercy to all who call upon Him, countering the stance of no forgiveness in Jeremiah 15:6.
Psalm 86:5: For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
Contradiction with Hosea 11:8-9
Illustrates God's compassionate heart and unwillingness to destroy Ephraim completely, opposing the tone of finality in Jeremiah 15:6.
Hosea 11:8-9: How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
Contradiction with James 5:11
Highlights the enduring mercy and compassion of the Lord, challenging the depiction of irreversible rejection in Jeremiah 15:6.
James 5:11: Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 15:6 might raise questions about the consistency of God's nature, specifically reconciling God's mercy with His anger and punishment. Some may find it challenging to understand how a compassionate and forgiving God could also express wrath and decide to "destroy" or "abandon" as depicted in this verse. The difficulty lies in balancing the attributes of justice and mercy within the character of God.
Paradox #2
This verse shows God expressing anger and deciding to take action against the people for their continuous wrongdoing. The conflict could be seen between God's anger and the idea of a loving, forgiving God. Some might say it's inconsistent to have both punishment and endless mercy.
