Contradiction with Job 30:29
Unlike Psalms 34:5, which speaks of radiance and lack of shame, Job 30:29 portrays a state of personal despair and alienation.
Job 30:29: I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls. [owls: or, ostriches]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 2:17
This verse contradicts Psalms 34:5 as it expresses a sense of hating life and finding it grievous, rather than being radiant and unashamed.
Ecclesiastes 2:17: Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun [is] grievous unto me: for all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
Contradiction with Lamentations 3:17
Contrary to the promise of no shame in Psalms 34:5, this verse describes being deprived of peace and forgetfulness of prosperity.
Lamentations 3:17: And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity. [prosperity: Heb. good]
Contradiction with Isaiah 49:14
While Psalms 34:5 suggests a positive outlook, this verse reflects feelings of being forgotten and forsaken by the Lord.
Isaiah 49:14: But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 20:14
This verse starkly contrasts with the uplifting message of Psalms 34:5 by expressing a curse on the day of one's birth, highlighting despair.
Jeremiah 20:14: Cursed [be] the day wherein I was born: let not the day wherein my mother bare me be blessed.
Contradiction with Micah 7:8
Although this verse ultimately speaks of hope, it describes a period of sitting in darkness before coming into light, initially contradicting the perpetual radiance in Psalms 34:5.
Micah 7:8: Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD [shall be] a light unto me.
