Contradiction with Proverbs 4:7
This verse emphasizes seeking wisdom as the principal thing, contradicting Job 13:12's claim that wisdom can be likened to something frail or ineffective (as seen in "remembrances" equated to ashes).
Proverbs 4:7: Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [therefore] get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 10:12
This verse highlights the grace and benefit of wisdom, especially in speech, as opposed to the ineffective "remembrances" of ashes and "defences" of clay mentioned in Job 13:12.
Ecclesiastes 10:12: The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. [gracious: Heb. grace]
Contradiction with Job 28:28
Here, the fear of the Lord and the departure from evil is equated to wisdom, contrasting with the negative portrayal of wisdom in Job 13:12 as mere ashes or clay defenses.
Job 28:28: And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that [is] wisdom; and to depart from evil [is] understanding.
Contradiction with James 3:17
Wisdom from above is described as pure, peaceable and full of mercy, which stands in contrast to the depiction in Job 13:12 of wisdom as ineffective or futile.
James 3:17: But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. [partiality: or, wrangling]
Contradiction with Proverbs 2:6-7
God grants wisdom and knowledge, which are portrayed positively and as beneficial, contrary to the diminutive imagery of wisdom in Job 13:12.
Proverbs 2:6-7: For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth [cometh] knowledge and understanding.
