According to Jeremiah, God is saying that even the fast and strong people will not get away safely; they will trip and fall by the big river in the north called the Euphrates. This shows that no one can escape God's plans or power.

Jeremiah 46:6: Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.

Contradiction with Proverbs 21:31

This verse suggests that safety is of the Lord and not determined by human strength or actions, contradicting Jeremiah 46:6's implication on the reliance on speed and strength in battle.

Proverbs 21:31: The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD. [safety: or, victory]

Contradiction with Psalm 33:16-17

These verses state that a king is not saved by the size of his army nor a warrior by his great strength, which contrasts with the focus on fleeing and not being saved by speed or strength in Jeremiah 46:6.

Psalm 33:16-17: There is no king saved by the multitude of an host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11

This verse observes that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, offering a different perspective compared to the emphasis on speed and strength in Jeremiah 46:6.

Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
