Check out Contradictions Catalog of Jeremiah 31:37 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Jeremiah 31:37. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Jeremiah, God is saying that just like it's impossible to measure the sky or dig deep enough to find where the Earth stands, He will never completely turn away from the people of Israel no matter what they do. It means God promises to always care for them and never give up on them.

Jeremiah 31:37: Thus saith the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the LORD.

Contradiction with Job 11:7

Suggests that God's mysteries, like the depth of the earth and height of heaven, cannot be fully comprehended or measured, while Jeremiah 31:37 implies such a measurement could theoretically determine God's rejection of Israel.

Job 11:7: Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:4

States that the earth abides forever, contradicting Jeremiah 31:37 which implies the heavens and earth could be measurable and thus transient as a basis for God's promise to Israel.

Ecclesiastes 1:4: [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

Contradiction with Isaiah 40:28

Describes God as incomprehensible and beyond the understanding of humanity, countering the notion in Jeremiah 31:37 that the universe could potentially be measurable.

Isaiah 40:28: Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? [there is] no searching of his understanding.

Contradiction with Psalm 102:25-26

Indicates that the heavens and earth will perish and grow old, while Jeremiah 31:37 implies their permanence through hypothetical measurement scenarios.

Psalm 102:25-26: Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands.

Contradiction with Matthew 24:35

States that heaven and earth shall pass away, contradicting the implication in Jeremiah 31:37 that they are measurable and thus stable bases for promises.

Matthew 24:35: Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
