Check out Contradictions Catalog of Jeremiah 49:22 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Jeremiah 49:22. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Jeremiah, this verse means that God will come quickly and powerfully like an eagle flying over the city of Bozrah. On that day, even the strongest men in Edom will feel scared and sad, like a woman having a baby.

Jeremiah 49:22: Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

Contradiction with Isaiah 40:31

While Jeremiah 49:22 speaks of the eagle coming down as a destructive force, Isaiah 40:31 portrays the act of mounting up with wings as eagles as a source of renewed strength and hope, not destruction.

Isaiah 40:31: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. [renew: Heb. change]

Contradiction with Matthew 5:9

Jeremiah 49:22 suggests an act of violence or destruction, whereas Matthew 5:9 blesses peacemakers, promoting peace rather than conflict.

Matthew 5:9: Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Contradiction with Psalm 91:4

In Jeremiah 49:22, the eagle represents impending doom, yet in Psalm 91:4, the imagery of a bird's wings symbolizes protection and refuge, depicting a nurturing presence instead of danger.

Psalm 91:4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.
