"“Oh that I knew where I might find Him, That I might come even to His seat!... Behold, I go forward, but He is not there; And backward, but I cannot perceive Him: On the left hand, where He doth work, but I cannot behold Him: He hideth Himself on the right hand, that I cannot see Him. But He knoweth the way that I take; When He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Ed 156.2"
"But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."
EGW directly quotes Job 23:10 and the surrounding verses.
"Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!"
EGW directly quotes Job 23:3, making it an explicit allusion.
"Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:"
EGW directly quotes Job 23:8, making it an explicit allusion.
"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."
EGW directly quotes Job 13:15.
"“I know that my Redeemer liveth, And that He shall stand up at the last upon the earth: And after my skin hath been destroyed, this shall be, Even from my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger.” Job 19:7-21 , R.V.; 23:3-10 , R.V.; 13:15 ; 19:25-27 , R.V., margin. Ed 156.4"
"Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine own body. Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me."
Ellen White directly references Job 19:7-21 in this passage.
"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"
"But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."
Ellen White directly references Job 23:10 in this passage.
"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."
Ellen White directly references Job 42:10-12 in this passage.
"On the record of those who through self-abnegation have entered into the fellowship of Christ's sufferings, stand—one in the Old Testament and one in the New—the names of Jonathan and of John the Baptist. Ed 156.6"
"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;"
EGW uses the phrase 'fellowship of Christ's sufferings' which is a clear echo of Philippians 3:10, and applies it to Jonathan and John the Baptist, highlighting their self-sacrifice.
