Contradiction with Isaiah 40:8
This verse emphasizes the eternal and unchanging nature of God's word, which stands in contrast to predictions and changes of fate as stated in Jeremiah 49:13.
Isaiah 40:8: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.
Contradiction with Numbers 23:19
This verse highlights God's unchanging nature and truthfulness, contrasting with any perceived change or revocation in prophecy present in Jeremiah 49:13.
Numbers 23:19: God [is] not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do [it]? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:21
This verse suggests a possibility of reversing judgment through repentance, which would contradict the irrevocable judgment described in Jeremiah 49:13.
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 Jonah 3:10
This verse demonstrates God's willingness to relent from sending disaster upon repentance, whereas Jeremiah 49:13 declares a determined judgment without presenting a condition for reversal.
Jonah 3:10: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
Paradox #1
The contradiction in Jeremiah 49:13 could be seen in the context of a loving and merciful God delivering a harsh judgment or destruction upon a nation. It might seem inconsistent with the idea of forgiveness and compassion often emphasized in other parts of religious teachings.
