Contradiction with Psalm 104:16-17
Job 40:21 mentions the behemoth hiding under the shady trees by the river, whereas Psalm 104:16-17 states that the birds make their nests in the trees, implying a different use of tree branches.
Psalm 104:16-17: The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:8
This verse depicts a tree by the waters flourishing without fear, contrasting with Job 40:21 where trees are merely a hiding place for the behemoth.
Jeremiah 17:8: For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and [that] spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. [drought: or, restraint]
Contradiction with Psalm 1:3
It describes a tree planted by the rivers of water as prosperous, unlike in Job 40:21 where trees provide cover instead of showcasing prosperity.

Contradiction with Ezekiel 17:5
Talks about a vine planted by water growing strong, while Job 40:21 describes a behemoth laying under the trees by water, not emphasizing growth.
Ezekiel 17:5: He took also of the seed of the land, and planted it in a fruitful field; he placed [it] by great waters, [and] set it [as] a willow tree. [planted...: Heb. put it in a field of seed]
Contradiction with Revelation 22:2
The tree of life stands by the river in heaven, yielding fruit continually, which contrasts with the trees in Job 40:21 that primarily serve as shade.
Revelation 22:2: In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, [was there] the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the nations.
