Contradiction with Jeremiah 33:3
Jeremiah 33:3 promises that God will answer calls to Him, whereas Jeremiah 44:26 declares that God will no longer hear the oaths made in His name by those in Egypt.
Jeremiah 33:3: Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. [mighty: or, hidden]
Contradiction with Isaiah 1:15
In Isaiah 1:15, God says He will hide His eyes from the prayers of His people due to their sins, similar to the complete prohibition on using His name in Jeremiah 44:26.
Isaiah 1:15: And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. [make...: Heb. multiply prayer] [blood: Heb. bloods]
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 4:7
Deuteronomy 4:7 emphasizes God being near whenever His people call upon Him, contrasting with His decision in Jeremiah 44:26 to refuse listening to those dwelling in Egypt.
Deuteronomy 4:7: For what nation [is there so] great, who [hath] God [so] nigh unto them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon him [for]?
Contradiction with Psalm 145:18
Psalm 145:18 states that the Lord is near to all who call on Him in truth, opposing the declaration in Jeremiah 44:26 that the people will not be able to invoke His name.
Psalm 145:18: The LORD [is] nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
Contradiction with 1 Kings 18:24
1 Kings 18:24 encourages calling on the name of the Lord to show divine action, while Jeremiah 44:26 forbids the people in Egypt from mentioning His name at all.
1 Kings 18:24: And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. [It is...: Heb. The word is good]
Contradiction with Joel 2:32
Joel 2:32 assures that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, contrasting with the ban on invoking the Lord's name in Jeremiah 44:26.
Joel 2:32: And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 44:26 could present a contradiction or conflict because it involves God's response to the people's worship of other gods, which involves withdrawing His name and blessings from them. This might seem harsh or inconsistent with the idea of a loving and forgiving God who offers multiple chances for repentance. The conflict lies in balancing justice and mercy.
