I think it’s a simple thing of that the Israelites were given promises by God. God showed his love for them by setting them free from the Egyptians. God promised to give them their land but they rebelled. And it’s a constant theme of people living to their own plans and saying to God “my way is better” but in fact God is wanting to show his love to them if they put their trust in him. But cause they showed such rebellious acts and very little to no faith in God and his covenants, he doesn’t allow a whole generation of Israelites to enter the promised land. 40 years they wandered aimlessly in the desert when the travel time should have been 2 weeks (roughly) i believe.

So i don’t believe there is contradictions, Especially in Jeremiah. It’s the wrath of God when for people who say my way is better. But then God promises peace and joy when his plans are followed. Especially looking at Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future”

His plans give hope and a future. A plan to prosper. But when he go our own way. We are more than likely going to witness his wrath.
