Contradiction with Jeremiah 18:8
Contradicts the notion of an unchangeable prophecy, suggesting God's willingness to relent from bringing disaster if a nation repents.
Jeremiah 18:8: If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:21
Presents the idea that the outcomes can change based on righteous behavior, conflicting with the fixed message God intends to give at the potter's house in Jeremiah 18:2.
Ezekiel 18:21: But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Contradiction with Jonah 3:10
Shows how God can change His mind based on human actions, contradicting the initial firm directive for Jeremiah to hear God’s word as a definitive plan.
Jonah 3:10: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
Contradiction with Numbers 23:19
States that God does not change His mind like humans, potentially contrasting with the mutable outcomes implied in Jeremiah 18:2's potter's analogy.
Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Contradiction with Malachi 3:6
Emphasizes God's unchanging nature, which may contradict the metaphor of the potter and the clay suggesting God's responsiveness to human actions.
Malachi 3:6: For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
