Contradiction with Jeremiah 11:17
While Psalms 52:8 emphasizes trust and flourishing in God's goodness, Jeremiah 11:17 highlights God's capacity to destroy what He has planted due to people's wickedness.
Jeremiah 11:17: For the LORD of hosts, that planted thee, hath pronounced evil against thee, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
Contradiction with Isaiah 40:7
Psalms 52:8 speaks of constant flourishing under God, whereas Isaiah 40:7 highlights the frailty and temporary nature of creation, which can wither if God wills.
Isaiah 40:7: The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people [is] grass.
Contradiction with Job 14:2
This verse contradicts Psalms 52:8 by stating that humans flourish briefly and then wither away, unlike the steadfast imagery in Psalms.
Job 14:2: He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 1:4
While Psalms 52:8 suggests enduring flourishing, this verse emphasizes the cyclical, transient nature of human generations, in contrast to the steadfastness in Psalms 52:8.
Ecclesiastes 1:4: [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
Contradiction with Matthew 6:30
Contrary to the trust in enduring flourishing in Psalms 52:8, this verse emphasizes that God cares even for the grass of the field, which flourishes briefly and then is cast into the oven, highlighting the temporary nature of life.
Matthew 6:30: Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, [shall he] not much more [clothe] you, O ye of little faith?
