Contradiction with Exodus 34:6-7
These verses describe God's mercy and forgiveness, which might contradict the message in Judges 10:13 where God speaks of not delivering Israel anymore.
Exodus 34:6-7: And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
Contradiction with 2 Chronicles 7:14
This verse suggests that if people turn from their wicked ways, God will hear and forgive, contradicting the finality in the tone of Judges 10:13.
2 Chronicles 7:14: If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. [which...: Heb. upon whom my name is called]
Contradiction with Isaiah 55:7
This verse speaks of God's willingness to pardon abundantly, whereas Judges 10:13 suggests an end to God's deliverance.
Isaiah 55:7: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. [the unrighteous...: Heb. the man of iniquity] [abundantly...: Heb. multiply to pardon]
Contradiction with Lamentations 3:22-23
These verses emphasize God's mercies being new every morning, which seems inconsistent with the withholding of deliverance in Judges 10:13.
Lamentations 3:22-23: [It is of] the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:23
This verse shows God's desire for the wicked to turn from their ways and live, which contradicts the implication that repentance may not result in deliverance in Judges 10:13.
Ezekiel 18:23: Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: [and] not that he should return from his ways, and live?
Paradox #1
A possible theological inconsistency with Judges 10:13 is that it shows God expressing anger and rejecting people for worshiping other gods, even though there are other parts of the Bible that emphasize God's forgiving nature and willingness to accept people who repent. This tension between justice and mercy can be seen as a contradiction in how God's character is portrayed at different times.
Paradox #2
The contradiction in Judges 10:13 could be seen as the tension between God's willingness to save and His decision to abandon the people for worshiping other gods. On one hand, God is often portrayed as forgiving and willing to help those in need; on the other hand, in this verse, He expresses a decision to no longer save the people because they have repeatedly turned to other gods. This creates a conflict between God's mercy and the consequence of people's actions.
