Contradiction with Isaiah 35:1
This verse talks about deserts blossoming and rejoicing, contrasting the idea of permanent desolation in Jeremiah 50:39.
Isaiah 35:1: The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 36:35
This verse refers to the restoration of desolate places, contradicting the notion of perpetual desolation in Jeremiah 50:39.
Ezekiel 36:35: And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities [are become] fenced, [and] are inhabited.
Contradiction with Isaiah 45:18
This verse states that God did not create the Earth to be empty but to be inhabited, which contrasts with the deserted imagery in Jeremiah 50:39.
Isaiah 45:18: For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.
Contradiction with Revelation 21:5
This verse speaks about making all things new, suggesting renewal and restoration contrary to the desolation described in Jeremiah 50:39.
Revelation 21:5: And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 50:39 talks about desolation and permanent abandonment of a place, which can contrast with other parts of the Bible where God promises restoration and hope, even after judgment. This could be seen as a tension between messages of destruction and eventual redemption.
Paradox #2
The verse talks about certain creatures living in a specific area, which might not align with scientific observations of animal habitats. Science relies on evidence to determine where animals live, so claims about animals in places where they aren't typically found can create conflict. If the verse suggests animals staying in certain ruined places forever, it conflicts with scientific evidence that animal populations change over time and are affected by environmental factors.
