Contradiction with Matthew 5:5
This verse says, "Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth," which contradicts Proverbs 28:25's emphasis on being contentious through pride, suggesting that humility, not pride, provides blessings.
Matthew 5:5: Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Contradiction with James 4:6
This verse states, "God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble," directly contradicting Proverbs 28:25 by indicating pride leads to resistance from God rather than prosperity.
James 4:6: But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Contradiction with 1 Peter 5:5
This verse advises, "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble," which opposes the notion of strife and pride mentioned in Proverbs 28:25.
1 Peter 5:5: Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Contradiction with Proverbs 11:2
This verse mentions, "When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom," which contradicts the idea of prosperity linked to pride in Proverbs 28:25, suggesting shame follows pride instead.
Proverbs 11:2: [When] pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly [is] wisdom.
