Ellen White & Bible Cross-Reference
Job 42:6
"Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
"dust and ashes.” Job 42:6 . It was when Isaiah saw the glory of the Lord, and heard the cherubim crying, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts,” that he cried out, “Woe is me! for I am undone.” Isaiah 6:3, 5 . Paul, after he was caught up into the third heaven and heard things which it was not possible for a man to utter, speaks of himself as “less than the least of all saints.” 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 , margin; Ephesians 3:8 . It was the beloved John, who leaned on Jesus’ breast and beheld His glory, that fell as one dead before the feet of the angel. Revelation 1:17 . GC 471.1"
Ellen White directly references Job 42:6 in this passage.
"influence of the Spirit of God. He loathes himself as he views the pure, spotless character of Christ. SC 29.1"
Both passages express self-abhorrence. Job's statement is a direct expression of self-loathing and repentance, while EGW describes self-loathing as a response to viewing Christ's character. The thematic connection is clear.
Job 42:10
"And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before."
"But though weary of life, Job was not allowed to die. To him were pointed out the possibilities of the future, and there was given him the message of hope: PK 163.4"
Both passages deal with Job's restoration after his suffering. The EGW passage speaks of hope and future possibilities, while the KJV passage describes the actual restoration. The connection is valid and meaningful.
Job 42:10-12
"And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold. So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses."
"According to his faith, so was it unto Job. “When He hath tried me,” he said, “I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10 . So it came to pass. By his patient endurance he vindicated his own character, and thus the character of Him whose representative he was. And “the Lord turned the captivity of Job: ... also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.... So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning.” Job 42:10-12 . Ed 156.5"
Ellen White directly references Job 42:10-12 in this passage.
