Contradiction with Psalm 34:18
This verse suggests that the Lord is near those who are of a broken heart, which contrasts with the implication of Job 22:26 that confidence in God is associated with delight, rather than brokenness or humility.
Psalm 34:18: The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. [unto...: Heb. to the broken of heart] [of a contrite...: Heb. contrite of spirit]
Contradiction with Proverbs 16:18
This verse states that pride goes before destruction, which seems to contradict Job 22:26 by implying that confident delight can lead to downfall.
Proverbs 16:18: Pride [goeth] before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Contradiction with James 4:6
This verse mentions that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble, conflicting with the confident delight mentioned in Job 22:26, as delighting with confidence could be misconceived as pride.
James 4:6: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:2
This verse suggests that it is better to go to the house of mourning than to a house of feasting, which contradicts the notion of delighting oneself in Job 22:26, implying wisdom is found in solemnity rather than joyous times.
Ecclesiastes 7:2: [It is] better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that [is] the end of all men; and the living will lay [it] to his heart.
Contradiction with Matthew 5:3
This verse says blessed are the poor in spirit, emphasizing humility and spiritual poverty, contrasting with the notion of confident delight before God as mentioned in Job 22:26.
Matthew 5:3: Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
