Contradiction with Isaiah 38:18
This verse states that the grave cannot praise God, which contrasts with Job 38:17 that presents death and the grave as within God's domain, suggesting a different perspective on their power and role.
Isaiah 38:18: For the grave cannot praise thee, death can [not] celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:10
It mentions there is no work, device, knowledge, or wisdom in the grave, which contrasts the implication in Job 38:17 that there is a realm and understanding beyond life.
Ecclesiastes 9:10: Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Contradiction with Psalm 6:5
This verse states there is no remembrance of God in death, diverging from the implication of authority and interaction with the gates of death in Job 38:17.
Psalm 6:5: For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
Contradiction with Job 14:21
It suggests that those in the grave are unaware of their family's fate, whereas Job 38:17 implies a comprehensive understanding of the realms of death.
Job 14:21: His sons come to honour, and he knoweth [it] not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth [it] not of them.
Contradiction with Psalm 115:17
It states that the dead do not praise the Lord, opposing the idea in Job 38:17 that implies an awareness or activity at the gates of death.
Psalm 115:17: The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.
Contradiction with Isaiah 26:14
It suggests the dead will not live or rise again, contrasting with Job 38:17 where there is an implication of access and opening to the dead.
Isaiah 26:14: [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
