Contradiction with Jeremiah 3:7
Whereas Jeremiah 44:5 states that the people did not listen or incline their ear, Jeremiah 3:7 mentions that God expected Israel to return to Him, implying the possibility of repentance.
Jeremiah 3:7: And I said after she had done all these [things], Turn thou unto me. But she returned not. And her treacherous sister Judah saw [it].
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:21
This verse indicates that if the wicked turn from their sins and keep God’s statutes, they will live. This contrasts with Jeremiah 44:5, as it implies an opportunity and willingness for change.
Ezekiel 18:21: But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 7:14
Here, it is stated that if the people humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways, God will forgive their sins. This suggests a path to reconciliation, in contrast to the rejection described in Jeremiah 44:5.
2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. [which...: Heb. upon whom my name is called]
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:3
This verse invites people to incline their ear and listen, offering a covenant. It contradicts Jeremiah 44:5 by suggesting that listening and inclining the ear lead to life.
Isaiah 55:3: Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, [even] the sure mercies of David.
Contradiction with Deuteronomy 4:30
States that if the people seek the Lord during tribulation and turn to Him, they will be heard, contrary to the message in Jeremiah 44:5 of people not listening or inclining their ears.
Deuteronomy 4:30: When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; [are...: Heb. have found thee]
