Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:29
This verse states that God does not lie or change His mind, whereas Jeremiah 29:19 speaks to God's willingness to change His plans in response to people's actions.
1 Samuel 15:29: And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent. [Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory]
Contradiction with Jonah 3:10
Here, God sees the actions of the people of Nineveh and repents of the disaster He had planned to bring upon them, contrasting with Jeremiah 29:19's emphasis on unheeded warnings leading to fulfillment of prophesied calamity.
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
This verse emphasizes God's unchanging nature, whereas Jeremiah 29:19 discusses not listening to the prophets, implying that there could have been a different outcome had they listened.
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 Ezekiel 18:21-22
These verses suggest that if the wicked repent, they can avoid the punishment, contrasting with Jeremiah 29:19 which underscores the certainty of the consequence due to disobedience.
Ezekiel 18:21-22: 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 Isaiah 55:7
This verse offers hope of mercy upon return to the Lord, differing from the outcome in Jeremiah 29:19 due to persistent disobedience.
Isaiah 55:7: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. [the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity] [abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon]
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 7:14
Here, the people are promised healing and forgiveness if they repent, contradicting the unheeded warnings and resulting judgments as described in Jeremiah 29:19.
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]
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in this verse could involve the idea of consequences for not listening. It suggests that some people are punished for not obeying certain instructions or messages. This might conflict with notions of forgiveness or unconditional love, as it implies that punishment results from disobedience rather than offering an opportunity for understanding or compassion.
