Contradiction with Proverbs 21:31
This verse suggests that safety and victory rely on preparation and human effort rather than divine intervention.
Proverbs 21:31: The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD. [safety: or, victory]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 9:11
It implies that outcomes such as victory are often due to time and chance, not always assured by God.
Ecclesiastes 9:11: I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race [is] not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Contradiction with Jeremiah 17:5
This verse contradicts the reliance on God by warning against trusting in human strength or efforts.
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 Psalms 44:3
Suggests victories come from God's favor and not through human might, contradicting the idea in Psalms 60:12 of God enabling humans to act valiantly.
Psalms 44:3: For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.
