Contradiction with Isaiah 14:1
Isaiah prophesies mercy and restoration for Israel, which contradicts the destruction of the Philistines mentioned in Jeremiah 47:4.
Isaiah 14:1: For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 30:11
Promises that God will not make a full end of Israel, whereas Jeremiah 47:4 talks about total destruction for the Philistines.
Jeremiah 30:11: For I [am] with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:23
States God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, yet Jeremiah 47:4 depicts destruction decreed by God.
Ezekiel 18:23: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Contradiction with Amos 9:8
God promises not to utterly destroy the house of Jacob, contrasting with the total devastation of the Philistines in Jeremiah 47:4.
Amos 9:8: Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD [are] upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD.
Paradox #1
The moral conflict in this context might arise from the idea of divine command leading to violence or destruction. People might struggle with the concept of a loving and just deity ordering or allowing widespread devastation. It raises questions about the compatibility of divine justice and mercy with acts of destruction.
