"“O that I might have my request; And that God would grant me the thing that I long for! Even that it would please God to destroy me; That He would let loose His hand, and cut me off! Then should I yet have comfort.” PK 163.1"
"Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for! Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!"
The EGW passage directly quotes Job 6:8-9.
"“I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.” PK 163.2"
"My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul."
The EGW passage directly quotes and alludes to Job 10:1, indicating a clear and intentional connection.
"“My soul chooseth ... death rather than my life. I loathe it; I would not live alway: Let me alone; For my days are vanity.” Job 3:3 ; 6:2, 8-10 ; Job 7:11, 15, 16 . PK 163.3"
"Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived."
Ellen White directly references Job 3:3 in this passage.
"I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity."
The EGW passage directly quotes Job 7:16, confirming a clear and intentional connection.
"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"
"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."
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.
"And they shall not escape, And their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.” Job 11:15-20 . PK 163.5"
"For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear: Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away: And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety. Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee. But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost."
Ellen White directly references Job 11:15-20 in this passage.
