Contradiction with Jeremiah 29:7
Encourages people to seek the peace of the city where they are, implying an active engagement in their exile, which contradicts the focus in Jeremiah 29:4 on merely being sent to a specific place.
Jeremiah 29:7: And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 21:9
Advises people to surrender and submit to the Babylonians to save their lives, which conflicts with the notion of being sent and settled in a place as per God's plan in Jeremiah 29:4.
Jeremiah 21:9: He that abideth in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that goeth out, and falleth to the Chaldeans that besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be unto him for a prey.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 11:16
Suggests that God will be a sanctuary for the Israelites in their places of exile, which contradicts the idea of being specifically planted and built up in a foreign land as per Jeremiah 29:4.
Ezekiel 11:16: Therefore say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Although I have cast them far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 28:2-3
Prophesies a return from Babylonian exile within two years, contrary to the long-term settlement implied in Jeremiah 29:4.
Jeremiah 28:2-3: Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 28:36
Predicts being taken to a nation unknown to their ancestors, highlighting a punishment and displacement not indicated in the purpose-driven placement described in Jeremiah 29:4.
Deuteronomy 28:36: The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.
