Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
Declares a curse on those who trust in human strength, which contrasts with the call to learn from human predecessors in Job 8:10.

Contradiction with Isaiah 29:14
Suggests that human wisdom will be undone, while Job 8:10 encourages looking to past human teachings for wisdom.
Isaiah 29:14: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, [even] a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise [men] shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent [men] shall be hid. [proceed: Heb. add]
Contradiction with Matthew 11:25
Highlights God's revelation to the childlike over the wise, seemingly at odds with the reverence for learned elders in Job 8:10.
