Check out Contradictions Catalog of Proverbs 15:11 for the comprehensive list of verses that contradicts Proverbs 15:11. Some key contradictions and paradoxes are described below.

According to Solomon, God can see everything, even the scary places like hell, so He definitely knows what people are thinking and feeling in their hearts too. This means we can't hide anything from God because He sees everything.

Proverbs 15:11: Hell and destruction [are] before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?

Contradiction with Psalm 139:8

While Proverbs 15:11 says the Lord has full knowledge of the grave (hell) and destruction, Psalm 139:8 acknowledges the Lord's presence everywhere, whether in heaven or hell, which might suggest a more encompassing or different understanding of God's omnipresence and relationship with these realms.

Psalm 139:8: If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there].

Contradiction with Job 26:6

Proverbs 15:11 emphasizes the Lord's knowledge of hell and destruction, whereas Job 26:6 suggests that even hell is naked before God, hinting not only at knowledge but at a broader vulnerability or exposure before God, challenging the depth or type of understanding Proverbs presents.

Job 26:6: Hell [is] naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:10

This verse implies a lack of work, knowledge, wisdom, or planning in the grave, which contrasts with Proverbs 15:11 in suggesting a state of inactivity or unawareness rather than something known to God in an active sense.

Ecclesiastes 9:10: Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Contradiction with Psalm 6:5

It suggests that in death there is no remembrance or praise of God, creating tension with Proverbs 15:11's implication of God's active knowledge or engagement with the state of the dead.

Psalm 6:5: For in death [there is] no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
