Jeremiah 8:19: Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: [Is] not the LORD in Zion? [is] not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, [and] with strange vanities? [them...: Heb. the country of them that are far off]

Contradiction with Isaiah 40:1-2

In these verses, God is speaking comfort to His people, offering them reassurance and solution, contrasting with the despair and lack of counsel in Micah 4:9.

Isaiah 40:1-2: Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God.

Contradiction with Psalm 34:4

This verse discusses God delivering from fears, showing active intervention contrary to the seemingly distant God in Micah 4:9 when the city has no king or counsel.

Psalm 34:4: I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Contradiction with 1 Samuel 12:22

Here, God is reaffirming His presence and the promise not to forsake His people due to His great name, in opposition to the feeling of abandonment in Micah 4:9.

1 Samuel 12:22: For the LORD will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people.

Contradiction with John 14:18
