Contradiction with Proverbs 16:18
While Jeremiah 52:33 speaks of Jehoiachin being lifted out of prison and treated well, Proverbs 16:18 warns that pride goes before destruction and that humility is necessary, suggesting that exaltation might lead to downfall.
Proverbs 16:18: Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Contradiction with James 4:10
Jeremiah 52:33 describes Jehoiachin's elevation in status, but James 4:10 emphasizes humility, stating that one should humble themselves before God to be exalted, implying exaltation should follow humility rather than preceding it.
James 4:10: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Contradiction with Luke 1:52
This verse discusses God bringing down the mighty from their thrones, which contrasts with Jeremiah 52:33 where Jehoiachin is exalted and given a place of honor despite his prior status and actions.
Luke 1:52: He hath put down the mighty from [their] seats, and exalted them of low degree.
Contradiction with Matthew 23:12
This verse implies that those who exalt themselves will be humbled, unlike Jeremiah 52:33 where Jehoiachin is elevated in stature, which might contradict the natural order emphasized in Matthew.
Matthew 23:12: And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Contradiction with 1 Peter 5:6
1 Peter suggests that one should humble themselves to be exalted in due time by God, yet Jeremiah 52:33 provides a narrative where elevation occurs regardless of personal humility.
1 Peter 5:6: Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 52:33 contains a detail about King Jehoiachin's captivity and release. The potential historical inconsistency is that 2 Kings 25:27-30 narrates a similar story but with slight differences in the timeline and details concerning the king's treatment and provisions. These discrepancies might suggest variations in source materials or transmission over time.
