Contradiction with Isaiah 55:7
Micah 2:3 speaks of impending judgment and inescapable destruction, while Isaiah 55:7 emphasizes the possibility of mercy and forgiveness from God for the wicked and unrighteous who return to the Lord.
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 2 Peter 3:9
Micah 2:3 foretells a predetermined punishment, whereas 2 Peter 3:9 highlights God's patience and desire for all to come to repentance, implying an opportunity to avoid judgment.
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.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:21
Micah 2:3 declares a fixed decree of calamity, but Ezekiel 18:21 assures that the wicked who turn from their sins and keep God's statutes will live and not face destruction.
Ezekiel 18:21: But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Contradiction with Jonah 3:10
In Micah 2:3, God plans to bring disaster upon His people, in contrast to Jonah 3:10, where God repents of His intention to bring calamity upon Nineveh when they turn from their evil ways.
Jonah 3:10: And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did [it] not.
Paradox #1
The contradiction or conflict in that verse could revolve around the themes of justice and punishment. In some interpretations, the verse suggests that those who commit wrongs will face inevitable consequences. However, the notion of a predetermined punishment might seem inconsistent with the idea of forgiveness or repentance often found in other parts of religious teachings. The conflict arises between the assurance of justice and the opportunity for redemption.
