Contradiction with Isaiah 45:7
This verse states that God creates darkness and calamity, while Job 38:12 suggests that morning light is commanded to exist daily, hinting at consistency rather than God’s direct creation of both light and darkness each day.
Isaiah 45:7: I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:5
This verse indicates that the sun rises and sets repeatedly on its own cycle, whereas Job 38:12 attributes the act of commanding the morning directly to God, suggesting a deliberate and conscious action rather than an automatic process.
Ecclesiastes 1:5: The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. [hasteth: Heb. panteth]
Contradiction with Matthew 5:45
This verse suggests that the sun rises on both the evil and the good, implying a natural and indiscriminate process, contrasting with Job 38:12 where God actively commands the morning, implying intention in its occurrence.
Matthew 5:45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 31:35
This verse articulates that God set fixed orders for the sun to stay its course for the day, which implies a predestined mechanism rather than a daily active command as expressed in Job 38:12.
Jeremiah 31:35: Thus saith the LORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, [and] the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts [is] his name:
Contradiction with Genesis 8:22
This verse implies the continuation of day and night as a result of a set promise rather than a daily act of command, which contrasts the notion of an ongoing divine intervention suggested in Job 38:12.
Genesis 8:22: While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. [While...: Heb. As yet all the days of the earth]
