This verse states that safety is of the Lord, suggesting that victory depends on God's will, not the size of the army as implied by relying on just a few men in Joshua 7:3.
Proverbs 21:31: The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD. [safety: or, victory]
Contradiction with Psalm 44:6

Psalm 44:6: For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
Contradiction with Zechariah 4:6
Emphasizes that success is by God's Spirit, not by might or power, which contradicts the reliance on a specific number of men for victory in Joshua 7:3.

Contradiction with 1 Samuel 17:47
Suggests battles are the Lord's and are won by His power, not by numbers or physical might, in contrast to the confidence in a small troop in Joshua 7:3.
1 Samuel 17:47: And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle [is] the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5

Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
