Versi relativi a Job, 2:

Job chapter 2 relates the continuation of Job's history of suffering, where he is hit by a painful and debilitating disease. Still, he remains faithful to God and refuses to curse him. Below are five verses from other Bible books that relate to the topics covered in Job 2:

Psalm 41:3: "The Lord will sustain you in your bed of disease, and the disease will restore you." This verse talks about God's care with those who are sick, which is relevant to the situation of Job, who was suffering from a painful disease.

2 Corinthians 12:7: "And so that I would not teach me with the greatness of the revelations, I was put a thorn in the flesh, messenger of Satan, to slap myself, so that it will not exalt me." Paul talks about a "thorn in the flesh" given to him as a means of keeping him humble, and this can be seen as similar to Job's suffering.

James 5:11: "Behold, we have Blessed are those who have suffered. You have heard what was the patience of Job and saw the end that the Lord gave him; for the Lord is full of mercy and compassionate." This verse makes a direct reference to Job and its patience in the midst of suffering, and shows how this quality is valued by Christians.

Proverbs 3:11-12: "My Son, the Lord's correction, nor is it discouraged, not to be discouraged when, by him, he is rebuked. For the Lord rebukes whom he loves, as the Father, to the Son to whom he wants well." This verse talks about divine correction, which may include suffering and trials. This is relevant to the story of Job, which is being tested by God.

Romans 8:28: "We know that all things cooperate for the good of those who love God, those who are called according to their purpose." This verse talks about how God can even use suffering for the good of those who love and serve Him. This is relevant to the situation of Job, which is being tested in his faithfulness to God.
