Contradiction with Deuteronomy 18:22
While Jeremiah 27:18 implies that a true prophet's words should lead to intercession, Deuteronomy 18:22 states that if a prophet's prediction does not come to pass, the prophet is false, focusing on the accuracy rather than intercession.
Deuteronomy 18:22: When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 14:14
Jeremiah 27:18 suggests prophets should encourage intercession, yet Jeremiah 14:14 states that some prophets prophesy lies not sent by God, introducing doubt about their validity and focus.
Jeremiah 14:14: Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 13:6
Jeremiah 27:18 emphasizes true prophets leading people to intercession, contrasting with Ezekiel 13:6, which describes false prophets who see lies and are deceived, suggesting prophets may not always promote the correct actions.
Ezekiel 13:6: They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.
Contradiction with Lamentations 2:14
Jeremiah 27:18 calls for proof of true prophecy through intercession, while Lamentations 2:14 warns that false prophets do not expose sins, shifting focus away from intercession.
Lamentations 2:14: Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
Contradiction with Micah 3:11
Jeremiah 27:18 underlines true prophetic guidance through prayer, whereas Micah 3:11 criticizes prophets who judge for reward, contradicting the selfless intercession motive in Jeremiah.
Micah 3:11: The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, [Is] not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. [and say: Heb. saying]
