Contradiction with Ezekiel 18:20
Proverbs 10:1 suggests a wise child brings joy and a foolish one brings grief directly to their parents, whereas Ezekiel 18:20 states the son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, implying individual responsibility for wisdom or folly.
Ezekiel 18:20: The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Contradiction with Matthew 23:9
Proverbs 10:1 emphasizes the impact of a child’s actions on their father and mother, while Matthew 23:9 teaches not to call any man father on earth, suggesting an ultimate spiritual authority different from parental ties.
Matthew 23:9: And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:28
Proverbs 10:1 discusses familial roles and relationships, implying differences between children, whereas Galatians 3:28 states there is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female, but unity in Christ, focusing on equality rather than roles.
Galatians 3:28: There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
