Answer:

1. Verse 74. I know, O Lord, that thy judgements are right, and that thou in faithfulness has afflicted me.

Step-by-step explanation:

Job was a prosperous and pious man who was afflicted with many hardships (broght by Satan, but allowed by God) in order to test his faith (he lost his children and possessions, and is afflicted by a terrible disease). But Job kept believing and humbled himself before God, Who restored Job's prosperity.

Answer:

2. Mercy and comfort

Step-by-step explanation:

Mercy and comfort follow affliction in the experience of a believer because he knowns he can count with the fulfillment of the promise: "Blessed are those who mourn: for they shall be comforted." Mattew 5:4

Psalm 119 Verse 76. Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort...

Psalm 119 Verse 77. let thy tender mercies come unto me...
