Contradiction with 1 Kings 11:4
While Jeremiah 2:11 speaks to a people changing their glory for that which does not profit, 1 Kings 11:4 describes Solomon's heart being turned after other gods, yet initially he had the glory of God’s wisdom.
1 Kings 11:4: For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of David his father.
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 33:9
Jeremiah 2:11 admonishes those who change their devotion from their glory to worthless idols, while 2 Chronicles 33:9 shows Manasseh seducing Judah to do more evil than the heathen, which initially enjoyed the favor and glory of God.
2 Chronicles 33:9: So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, [and] to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel.
Contradiction with Romans 1:25
Jeremiah 2:11 questions exchanging glory for that which does not profit, while Romans 1:25 discusses people changing the truth of God into a lie and worshiping the creature more than the Creator.
Romans 1:25: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. [more: or, rather]
Contradiction with Hosea 4:7
Jeremiah 2:11 laments changing glory for no profit, contrasting with Hosea 4:7 where as the people increased, they sinned against God, turning glory into shame.

Contradiction with Matthew 15:9
While Jeremiah 2:11 speaks of not profiting by changing their glory, Matthew 15:9 indicates worship in vain, emphasizing commandments of men rather than God, hence not gaining glory or profit spiritually.
Matthew 15:9: But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or inconsistency related to Jeremiah 2:11 could involve the idea of a nation changing its gods, which might conflict with historical evidence of regular changes in religious practices and the adoption of new deities by various cultures. Throughout history, many societies have indeed changed their gods or religious beliefs, often due to conquest, cultural exchange, or social changes. This could be seen as inconsistent with the assertion that nations don't do this, highlighting a potential discrepancy between the text and historical patterns.
Paradox #2
Jeremiah 2:11 discusses how a nation has exchanged its gods, which are not truly divine, for other things that are not gods. A potential contradiction or conflict here could be the inconsistency in people abandoning their true beliefs or values for something lesser or unworthy, despite knowing the truth. This reflects a conflict between loyalty to genuine beliefs versus the temptation to pursue superficial or false idols.
