Contradiction with Proverbs 11:31
Suggests that the righteous will be rewarded on earth, which contrasts with the idea that a backslider will be filled with their own ways regardless of righteousness.
Proverbs 11:31: Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.
Contradiction with James 1:12
Speaks of the reward and blessing for those who endure temptation, whereas Proverbs 14:14 implies self-satisfaction for the backslider and potentially no divine reward.
James 1:12: Blessed [is] the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Contradiction with Galatians 6:7-8
States that sowing to the Spirit leads to eternal life, in contrast to the Proverbs notion that the backslider is filled with their ways alone.
Galatians 6:7-8: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:10
God rewards each person according to their deeds, conflicting with the idea that a backslider's satisfaction is limited to being filled with their own ways.
Jeremiah 17:10: I the LORD search the heart, [I] try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, [and] according to the fruit of his doings.
Contradiction with Psalm 37:25
Affirms that the righteous are not forsaken, unlike the implication in Proverbs 14:14 that a backslider is content with their own ways without divine intervention.
Psalm 37:25: I have been young, and [now] am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
