Contradiction with James 1:5
Contradicts by indicating that God gives wisdom generously to those who ask, while Psalms 106:13 suggests a lack of seeking God’s guidance.
James 1:5: If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5-6
Advises trust and acknowledgment in God for direction, contrasting the Psalm's depiction of forgetting God's works.
Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with Isaiah 40:31
Promises renewed strength for those who wait on the Lord, opposed to the impatience noted in Psalms 106:13.
Isaiah 40:31: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint. [renew: Heb. change]
Contradiction with Matthew 7:7
Encourages asking and receiving from God, conflicting with the failure to wait for God’s counsel in the Psalm.
Matthew 7:7: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Contradiction with Philippians 4:6
Instructs to present requests to God with thanksgiving, while Psalms 106:13 reflects forgetfulness and not waiting for God.
Philippians 4:6: Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Paradox #1
The verse speaks about people quickly forgetting the deeds done for them and failing to wait for advice or help. The potential conflict or contradiction with this could be the portrayal of people's memory and faithfulness in the Bible. Different parts of the Bible sometimes emphasize the steadfastness and faithfulness of people, while other parts, like this verse, highlight their forgetfulness and impatience. This inconsistency in human behavior as depicted in the scriptures could be seen as a contradiction.
Paradox #2
Psalms 106:13 talks about people forgetting God's works and not waiting for His guidance. A potential contradiction could be the expectation for people to wait on divine timing versus taking initiative in their lives. Some might see a conflict between trusting in a higher power and being proactive in solving one's own problems.
