Contradiction with Jeremiah 18:7-8
These verses describe God saying He will relent from bringing disaster on a nation if it turns from evil, which contradicts the irreversible destruction mentioned in Jeremiah 19:11.
Jeremiah 18:7-8: [At what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy [it];
Contradiction with Ezekiel 33:14-15
These verses suggest that if a wicked person turns from his evil ways, his past sins will not be held against him, contradicting the notion of inevitable destruction in Jeremiah 19:11.
Ezekiel 33:14-15: Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right; [that...: Heb. judgment and justice]
Contradiction with Jonah 3:10
This verse describes God changing His mind about destroying Nineveh because they repented, which contrasts with the irrevocable destruction stated in Jeremiah 19:11.
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.
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 19:11 could be seen as conflicting with the idea of an endlessly forgiving and merciful God because the verse speaks of a punishment that is irreversible. This could seem inconsistent with the belief that God always offers a chance for redemption and forgiveness.
Paradox #2
Jeremiah 19:11 talks about God saying that he will smash the people and the city like a potter's jar that cannot be repaired. A possible contradiction might arise when comparing this verse with other parts of the Bible that talk about God's willingness to forgive and restore, like when he promises to heal and rebuild in other verses. This could seem inconsistent with the irrevocable destruction described in Jeremiah 19:11.
Paradox #3
The contradiction or conflict in Jeremiah 19:11 could be seen in the context of a compassionate and forgiving God versus the depiction of unavoidable destruction and punishment. Some might find it inconsistent with the idea of a loving deity to issue irrevocable judgment and devastation. This contrast might create a tension between divine justice and mercy.
