Job 14:5 states that God determines the number of a person's months — the same 'number of months' phrase used here.

Job 14:21 echoes the same idea: the dead have no awareness of their children's fate, reinforcing Job's point.

Psalm 102:23 says God shortened his days, directly paralleling Job's 'number of months is cut off'—both refer to a curtailed lifespan.

Psalm 55:23 says the wicked will not live out half their days — similar to Job's 'number of months cut off' theme of premature death.

Psalm 102:24 pleads not to be taken in the midst of days, echoing Job's mention of months being cut off—both address premature death.

Ecclesiastes 2:19 continues the vanity of leaving work to an unknown heir — parallels Job's 'what do they care?'

Ecclesiastes 2:18 laments leaving toil to an heir — similar concern about legacy after death, though from a different perspective.
