Contradiction with Proverbs 21:31
This verse states, "The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD," suggesting that ultimate victory and safety are determined by God, while Jeremiah 37:10 implies that even if the enemy seems defeated, the Chaldeans would still prevail against Judah.
Proverbs 21:31: The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD. [safety: or, victory]
Contradiction with Psalm 20:7
"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God." This verse emphasizes reliance on God rather than military power, contrasting with Jeremiah 37:10's assertion that the remaining Chaldeans could defeat Judah.
Psalm 20:7: Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 20:4
"For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you." This suggests divine intervention assures victory, contradicting Jeremiah 37:10's message that Judah would not succeed despite efforts.
Deuteronomy 20:4: For the LORD your God [is] he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
Contradiction with 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." This promises God's support and protection, in contrast to Jeremiah 37:10 where defeat seems inevitable.
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.
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 20:15
"…for the battle is not yours, but God's." This implies that God fights battles on behalf of His people, which contradicts Jeremiah 37:10 where the Chaldeans' victory seems assured regardless of Israel's resistance.
2 Chronicles 20:15: And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle [is] not yours, but God's.
