This verse speaks of Shiloh being abandoned due to disobedience, implying a history of divine abandonment rather than a unique case for Lachish mentioned in Micah 1:13.
Jeremiah 26:6: Then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
Contradiction with Isaiah 10:11
This verse mentions God's plan to punish certain cities, suggesting that all cities are at risk of judgment, not just Lachish as singled out in Micah 1:13.
Isaiah 10:11: Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols?
Contradiction with Nahum 3:19
Emphasizes inevitable destruction without hope, contradicting the implied strategic importance and strength of Lachish in Micah 1:13.
Nahum 3:19: [There is] no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually? [healing: Heb. wrinkling]
Contradiction with Zephaniah 3:6
Shows universal destruction of nations, suggesting a divine pattern contrary to the specific blame placed on Lachish in Micah 1:13.

Contradiction with 2 Kings 18:17
Describes Lachish as significant in defense, which contradicts its portrayal as initiating transgression in Micah 1:13.
2 Kings 18:17: And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which [is] in the highway of the fuller's field. [great: Heb. heavy]
