Contradiction with Proverbs 24:16
This verse suggests that a just man can fall multiple times and still rise again, which implies an ongoing process of recovery, in contrast to Jeremiah 8:4, which questions why fallen people do not rise.
Proverbs 24:16: For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
Contradiction with Micah 7:8
This verse expresses confidence that even if one falls, they will rise again, which is at odds with the implication in Jeremiah 8:4 that people do not rise after they fall.
