Contradiction with Hebrews 13:5
This verse promises that God will never leave nor forsake His people, contrasting with Jeremiah 30:14 where God is described as having wounded and forsaken them.
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.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 31:6
God assures He will not forsake His people, while Jeremiah 30:14 depicts a scenario where God has allowed them to suffer and be forsaken.
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 Isaiah 41:10
God promises to strengthen and help, contrary to Jeremiah 30:14, where God has allowed abandonment due to their sins.
Isaiah 41:10: Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
Paradox #1
Some people see a contradiction in how Old Testament prophecies, like in Jeremiah, speak of punishment for Israel, while other parts of the Bible emphasize God's mercy and love for Israel. It can seem inconsistent how Israel is sometimes portrayed as being severely punished and at other times forgiven and restored.
Paradox #2
This verse might seem morally conflicting because it talks about being abandoned or forgotten by friends or loved ones, which might appear harsh or unforgiving. It could be seen as inconsistent with the broader biblical message of love, forgiveness, and support among people.
