Contradiction with Matthew 5:25
Proverbs 6:3 advises to "humble thyself" and make an urgent plea, whereas Matthew 5:25 counsels agreeing quickly with adversaries to avoid escalating conflict, focusing on external resolution rather than the internal plea.
Matthew 5:25: Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Contradiction with James 4:10
Proverbs 6:3 encourages seeking a quick resolution to a commitment, while James 4:10 emphasizes humble submission to God with the resulting exaltation, redirecting the focus from resolving earthly entanglements to spiritual humility.
James 4:10: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Contradiction with Proverbs 27:1
Proverbs 6:3 promotes immediate action to resolve debts, while Proverbs 27:1 warns against certainty about tomorrow, potentially contradicting the urgency or assumption one can resolve today's problems instantly.
Proverbs 27:1: Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. [to...: Heb. to morrow day]
