According to Jeremiah, people should remember that God is the one who brings rain and makes plants grow. They should be thankful and respect God for providing food at the right time.

Jeremiah 5:24: Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

Contradiction with Psalm 145:9

Jeremiah 5:24 acknowledges God's provision and timing of rains, while this verse suggests His goodness and mercy extend universally without specific timing.

Psalm 145:9: The LORD [is] good to all: and his tender mercies [are] over all his works.

Contradiction with Matthew 5:45

Jeremiah 5:24 highlights the seasonal rains as a blessing for the people, whereas this verse indicates God sends rain on both the just and unjust, not tying it to obedience.

Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:2

Jeremiah 5:24 suggests a cause-effect of fearing God and receiving blessings, while this verse implies events happen to all people regardless of righteousness.

Ecclesiastes 9:2: All [things come] alike to all: [there is] one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as [is] the good, so [is] the sinner; [and] he that sweareth, as [he] that feareth an oath.

Contradiction with Job 21:7-9

Jeremiah 5:24 attributes blessings to God-fearing, but these verses question why the wicked often prosper without fearing God.

Job 21:7-9: Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9

Jeremiah 5:24 presents God’s provision as understandable, while these verses emphasize that God's ways and thoughts are beyond human understanding.

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9

Jeremiah 5:24 suggests immediate reward for fearing God, whereas this verse highlights God's patience, suggesting He waits for repentance, not specifying timing for blessings.

2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Paradox #1

The verse acknowledges God's control over natural events, like rain and harvest seasons. A contradiction or inconsistency might arise if someone questions why, despite this control, there are instances of drought or famine that cause suffering. This could lead to conflicts about God's role in natural disasters and human suffering.
