According to Jeremiah, just like a girl wouldn't forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding dress, God's people shouldn't forget Him, but sometimes they do. This makes God feel very sad because He loves them so much.

Jeremiah 2:32: Can a maid forget her ornaments, [or] a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

Contradiction with Isaiah 49:15

Isaiah 49:15 implies that even though a mother might forget her child, God will not forget His people, which contrasts with the notion in Jeremiah 2:32 of forgetting adorned and beloved things.

Isaiah 49:15: Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. [that...: Heb. from having compassion]

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 31:6

Deuteronomy 31:6 reassures that God will not forsake or forget His people, whereas Jeremiah 2:32 speaks to forgetfulness toward God.

Deuteronomy 31:6: Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he [it is] that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Contradiction with Hebrews 13:5

Hebrews 13:5 states that God will never leave nor forsake His people, in contrast to Jeremiah 2:32, which references people forgetting God.

Hebrews 13:5: [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Paradox #1

The potential moral conflict in this verse could be about forgetting important commitments. It highlights a situation where people may neglect their spiritual responsibilities or relationship with God despite their significant importance, similar to how a bride would not forget her wedding attire. The contradiction arises if this neglect is compared to real-life situations where forgetting might happen due to various human flaws or pressures, raising questions about expectations of faithfulness and memory.
