Psalm 145:17: "Just is the Lord in all his ways, and holy in all his works." This verse talks about the righteousness of God and his holiness in all works, which relates to Eliú's discourse on divine justice.
Proverbs 3:34: "Certainly he shall mock the mockery, but he will give grace to the meek." This verse talks about how God rewards the humble and meek, in opposition to the scope, which relates to Eliú's message about the importance of seeking God with humility.
Ecclesiastes 3:14: "I know that all that God does will last forever; nothing must be added to Him, and nothing must be taken from Him; and it does God to fear before Him." This verse talks about how all God does is eternal and cannot be changed, which relates to Eliú's message about the importance of trusting God rather than trusting in his own works.

This verse talks about how those who expect in the Lord will be renewed and will not tire, relating to Eliú's message about the importance of trusting God and not in their own strength.
