Contradiction with Proverbs 21:31
While Psalms 33:16 suggests that a horse is of no true safety, Proverbs highlights that the horse's readiness for battle is essential.
Proverbs 21:31: The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD. [safety: or, victory]
Contradiction with 2 Samuel 22:33-35
Contrasts with the notion that strength cannot deliver by emphasizing God as the source who strengthens for victory.
2 Samuel 22:33-35: God [is] my strength [and] power: and he maketh my way perfect. [maketh: Heb. riddeth, or, looseth]
Contradiction with Psalm 20:7
Contradicts the idea that human means like horses cannot save, as it suggests trusting in them can lead to failure.
Psalm 20:7: Some [trust] in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
Suggests that relying on human strength, like in Psalms 33:16, is vain and accursed.
Jeremiah 17:5: Thus saith the LORD; Cursed [be] the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
Contradiction with Isaiah 31:1
Contradicts by warning against seeking aid through horses and chariots rather than divine help.
Isaiah 31:1: Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they are] many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
