Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
Elijah's complaint is repeated verbatim in 1 Kgs 19:14 (the second utterance to the LORD); Paul's v.3 reproduces this doubled lament. Listed separately because the source occurs at both v.10 and v.14 (recurrence within the source narrative).
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Elijah laments rejection by his own people Israel despite his prophetic word, part of the OT type of the lone unhonored prophet. The thematic coherence with Jesus' rejection at Nazareth supports a faint echo, though no verbal link exists. Marked contested as a pattern-level resonance only.
