In Job 36:6, Elihu says God gives the afflicted their right — here he explains that affliction itself delivers them, reinforcing the theme.

Job 36:10 says God opens their ear to instruction — here the means is adversity, showing how suffering teaches.

In Job 33:16, Elihu says God opens ears through terrifying warnings — here it's through adversity, a consistent theme of divine instruction.

In 2 Chronicles 12:8, God uses servitude to teach Israel the difference between serving Him and foreign kings — similar to affliction opening the ear here.
