In Job 17:4, Job says God closed his friends' hearts to understanding — the same divine withholding of wisdom seen in the ostrich's lack.

Job 12:20 shows God removing understanding from the aged — a direct parallel to God depriving the ostrich of wisdom.

Job 35:11 affirms God teaches humans more than beasts — here the ostrich is denied wisdom, highlighting God's sovereignty over knowledge.

Isaiah 19:11-14 says God mingled a spirit of confusion in Egypt's counselors — directly parallel to God making the ostrich forget wisdom, both divine causation of folly.

Isaiah 28:26 says God instructs the farmer with discretion — contrasting with God depriving the ostrich of wisdom here.

Deuteronomy 2:30 shows God hardening Sihon's heart — similar to God making the ostrich forget wisdom, both depict God actively causing a deficiency.
