This verse indicates that it is God who works in you to will and to act, implying divine control over human will, contrasting with the voluntary submission to God’s will expressed in Jeremiah 26:14.

Paradox #1
Jeremiah 26:14 might seem to suggest a contradiction because it involves the prophet submitting to authority while simultaneously trusting in divine protection. On one hand, it shows a commitment to accepting human judgment; on the other hand, it demonstrates faith in God's ultimate justice, which could conflict if earthly authorities are unjust. This could be seen as a potential conflict between obeying human laws and trusting in divine intervention.
