Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
This verse instructs to love your enemies, whereas Jeremiah 51:24 speaks of repaying Babylon for their deeds, suggesting retribution.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
This verse advises not to seek personal vengeance, but to leave it to God, while Jeremiah 51:24 specifically announces divine retribution upon Babylon.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with Proverbs 20:22
It suggests not saying "I will repay evil," which contrasts with the theme of recompense toward Babylon in Jeremiah 51:24.
Proverbs 20:22: Say not thou, I will recompense evil; [but] wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
Contradiction with 1 Thessalonians 5:15
Encourages not to repay evil for evil, differing from the action described in Jeremiah 51:24 against Babylon.
1 Thessalonians 5:15: See that none render evil for evil unto any [man]; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men].
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 51:24 discusses God's promise to repay Babylon for the harm it has done to Zion. A potential contradiction or conflict might arise from the idea of revenge or retribution. While some parts of the Bible emphasize forgiveness and turning the other cheek, this verse focuses on punishment and repayment, which could seem inconsistent with messages of forgiveness elsewhere in the scripture.
