Echo2

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

Mark 1:16-20 ?

Amos 4:2 threatens that the people will be taken away 'with fishhooks,' another OT fishing-for-people image. Volume is faint and, like Jeremiah, the valence is judgment; included for maximal coverage of the 'catching people' metaphor though coherence with Jesus' summons is weak.

Low confidence
Matt 4:18-22 ?

'He will take you away with hooks, the last of you with fishhooks' — another prophetic fishing-as-gathering image contributing to the recurrent metaphor behind 'fishers for men.' Faint, judgment-toned.
