Contradiction with Proverbs 16:1
Explains that the preparations of the heart in man are from the Lord, suggesting that one's words can be influenced by man, contrasting with the notion in Numbers 22:38 that Balaam can only speak what God puts in his mouth.
Proverbs 16:1: The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, [is] from the LORD. [preparations: or, disposings]
Contradiction with 1 Kings 22:22
Depicts God permitting a lying spirit in the mouth of prophets, which contrasts Numbers 22:38 by showing that not all words spoken by prophets are directly God's words.
1 Kings 22:22: And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade [him], and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 14:14
States that some prophets speak lies in God's name, implying they can speak independently from God, conflicting with the view in Numbers 22:38.
Jeremiah 14:14: Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
Contradiction with Ezekiel 13:7
Refers to prophets who claim to speak the word of God when God has not spoken, opposing Balaam’s claim in Numbers 22:38 that he can only speak God’s words.
Ezekiel 13:7: Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it]; albeit I have not spoken?
Contradiction with Matthew 7:15
Warns about false prophets, implying that not all prophets speak only God's words, which is contrary to Balaam's assertion in Numbers 22:38.
Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
