Luke 16:23 sets the scene of the rich man in torment seeing Lazarus with Abraham — the reversal Abraham explains in 16:25.

In Luke 16:20, Lazarus is described as poor and covered with sores — the 'evil things' he received in life, contrasted with his comfort after death.

In Luke 16:24, the rich man begs for relief from torment — the very anguish Abraham references in 16:25 when saying 'you are in anguish'.

Luke 9:25 echoes the parable's reversal: the rich man gained the world but lost his soul, showing earthly gain is worthless without eternal life.

Luke 6:24 pronounces woe to the rich who have received their consolation—directly parallels the rich man's situation: he received good things in life, now faces woe.

James 5:5 condemns luxury and self-indulgence leading to slaughter — exactly the rich man's lifestyle and end.

1 Samuel 2:5 echoes the reversal of fortunes: the full become hungry and the hungry satisfied — directly paralleling the rich man and Lazarus's reversal.

Matthew 16:26 warns that gaining the whole world forfeits the soul—the rich man gained good things but lost his soul's rest, illustrating this truth.

Matthew 5:4 blesses those who mourn with comfort—Lazarus mourned and is now comforted, directly fulfilling this beatitude's promise.

Isaiah 65:13 directly contrasts servants who eat/drink/rejoice with the wicked who are hungry/thirsty/ashamed—identical reversal pattern to the rich man and Lazarus.

Proverbs 14:13 states that laughter ends in grief — exactly what happens to the rich man who had good things but now is in anguish.

Matthew 13:12 says the one who has gets more, the one who has not loses even what he has—this seems opposite to the reversal where the rich man loses and Lazarus gains.
