Job 1:10 describes God's protective hedge and blessing, matching the friendship of God upon Job's tent in his prime.

Job 15:8 accuses Job of claiming divine counsel, contrasting with the intimate friendship of God he once enjoyed.

Psalm 25:14 uses the same Hebrew word 'sod' for God's intimate friendship with those who fear Him, echoing Job's past blessing.

Proverbs 3:32 also uses 'sod' — God takes the upright into His confidence, directly parallel to Job's intimate friendship.
