Contradiction with Hosea 3:4-5
Describes a time when Israel will be without a king or prince, contradictory to the unending reign promised in Jeremiah 33:17.
Hosea 3:4-5: For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and [without] teraphim: [image: Heb. a standing, or, statue, or, pillar]
Contradiction with Ezekiel 21:26-27
Prophesies the removal of the crown and the overturning of the kingdom, which contrasts with the enduring Davidic line in Jeremiah 33:17.
Ezekiel 21:26-27: Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that is] low, and abase [him that is] high.
Contradiction with Psalm 89:38-45
God is described as having rejected and renounced the covenant, conflicting with the assurance in Jeremiah 33:17.
Psalm 89:38-45: But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
Contradiction with Lamentations 5:19-20
The plea for restoration implies a current lack of a reigning king, contrary to the continuous reign in Jeremiah 33:17.
Lamentations 5:19-20: Thou, O LORD, remainest for ever; thy throne from generation to generation.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 9:5-6
Warns that the promise of a Davidic line is conditional, contrasting the unconditional promise in Jeremiah 33:17.
1 Kings 9:5-6: Then I will establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel.
Paradox #1
The potential theological conflict with that verse could arise in relation to the New Testament. Some people might question how the promise made aligns with the belief that Jesus, from the line of David, is the eternal king, especially considering that the historical Davidic kingdom no longer exists. It can be seen as a challenge to reconcile the Old Testament promise with the New Testament fulfillment in a non-literal kingdom.
Paradox #2
Historical contradictions regarding Jeremiah 33:17 may arise from the continuation of Davidic kingship. Historically, after the Babylonian exile, no Davidic king ruled over Israel, creating a tension with the promise of an unbroken line. This is often discussed in religious and theological contexts.
