Contradiction with Proverbs 1:28
This verse suggests that people will call upon God and He will not answer, whereas Jeremiah 7:13 implies God was calling to the people, but they were not listening.
Proverbs 1:28: Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
Contradiction with Isaiah 65:12
Here, God is described as having called and not being answered, which contrasts with Jeremiah 7:13 where people are depicted as not responding to His call.
Isaiah 65:12: Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose [that] wherein I delighted not.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 8:18
This verse describes God’s refusal to hear the cries of the people because of their actions, opposite to Jeremiah 7:13 where God actively seeks to reach out.
Ezekiel 8:18: Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, [yet] will I not hear them.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:7
This verse suggests that those who ask and seek will receive and find, whereas Jeremiah 7:13 indicates that despite God's efforts, the people did not listen or seek Him.
Matthew 7:7: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Paradox #1
Jeremiah 7:13 mentions God speaking and warning the people, but they did not listen. A contradiction could be seen if one questions how a compassionate God can judge people harshly for not listening, especially if they didn't understand or weren't aware. This raises a conflict between God's justice and mercy.
