Paradox #1
Jeremiah 50:38 refers to Babylon and includes language about a drought and idols. A possible contradiction is that Babylon was located near the Euphrates River and water scarcity was generally not an issue there. The mention of drought might not align with historical geography or climate conditions of ancient Babylon.
