Contradiction with Psalm 9:7
This verse contradicts Job 16:19 because it asserts God's eternal judgment from His throne, while Job speaks of a witness in heaven that may suggest a lack of visible judgment.
Psalm 9:7: But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment.
Contradiction with Isaiah 59:2
This verse suggests that sins hide God's face from individuals, yet Job 16:19 speaks of Job's witness in heaven, implying an ongoing recognition despite suffering.
Isaiah 59:2: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear. [have hid: or, have made him hide]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:16
This verse points out the existence of wickedness where justice should be, contradicting Job 16:19's assertion of a heavenly witness upholding justice.
Ecclesiastes 3:16: And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, [that] wickedness [was] there; and the place of righteousness, [that] iniquity [was] there.
Contradiction with Habakkuk 1:2-4
These verses express frustration at the lack of divine intervention, which contrasts with Job 16:19's acknowledgment of a heavenly advocate.
Habakkuk 1:2-4: O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! [even] cry out unto thee [of] violence, and thou wilt not save!
Contradiction with Psalm 73:11
This verse questions God's knowledge of earthly affairs, whereas Job 16:19 confidently identifies a heavenly witness in Job's stead.
Psalm 73:11: And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
Contradiction with Lamentations 3:44
Suggests God covers Himself with a cloud to prevent prayers from passing through, conflicting with the idea of a constant witness in heaven as in Job 16:19.
Lamentations 3:44: Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through.
Contradiction with Psalm 10:1
The psalmist questions God's apparent distance in troubling times, unlike Job 16:19, which speaks of a present divine witness even in distress.
Psalm 10:1: Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble?
