Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 2:23
This verse talks about nights being filled with restless trouble, contrasting the sweet sleep mentioned in Jeremiah 31:26.
Ecclesiastes 2:23: For all his days [are] sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity.
Contradiction with Psalm 6:6
Here, the psalmist speaks of groaning all night and flooding their bed with tears, which contrasts the notion of sweet sleep.
Psalm 6:6: I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. [all...: or, every night]
Contradiction with Job 7:4
This verse describes nights filled with tossing until dawn, providing a perspective of sleeplessness contrary to Jeremiah 31:26.
Job 7:4: When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. [the night...: Heb. the evening be measured?]
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:24
While this verse promises safe sleep, it emphasizes a condition (trust in the Lord) which might suggest Jeremiah’s sweet sleep is not unconditional.
Proverbs 3:24: When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.
