Contradiction with Numbers 23:19

Numbers 23:19 states that God does not lie or change His mind, while Jeremiah 32:28 presents a situation where God takes action against His own people, which might seem inconsistent with His promises to protect them.

Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Contradiction with James 1:13

James 1:13 says God cannot be tempted with evil, neither does He tempt anyone, yet in Jeremiah 32:28, God declares His intention to bring calamity on His people, which can appear contradictory to His nature of not doing evil.

James 1:13: Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [evil: or, evils]

Paradox #1
