Job 21:5 directly echoes the call to be appalled, using the same language as the upright's reaction in Job 17:8.

Habakkuk 1:13 questions God's tolerance of evil, mirroring the innocent's stirring against the godless in Job.

Psalm 73:12-15 describes the psalmist's struggle with the prosperity of the wicked, paralleling the upright's dismay at injustice in Job.

Ecclesiastes 5:8 advises not to be amazed at oppression, contrasting with Job's upright who are appalled at injustice.
