Contradiction with Matthew 5:44
This verse instructs to love your enemies, which contradicts the directive in Jonah 3:2 to warn Nineveh of impending doom.
Matthew 5:44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Contradiction with Romans 12:19
This verse advises not to seek vengeance, which stands in contrast to Jonah being sent by God to proclaim judgment.
Romans 12:19: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but [rather] give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance [is] mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 33:11
This verse states that God takes no pleasure in the wicked's death, contradicting the message of impending destruction in Jonah 3:2.
Ezekiel 33:11: Say unto them, [As] I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Contradiction with James 1:20
This verse highlights that human anger does not produce righteousness, contrasting with the angry message Jonah was initially told to deliver.
James 1:20: For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Contradiction with 2 Peter 3:9
This verse expresses God's desire for all to come to repentance, which appears contradictory since Jonah is initially sent to announce destruction, not repentance.
2 Peter 3:9: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
