Where this passage surfaces again, sorted by the strength of the link. Each kind of reuse — formal quotation, deliberate allusion, faint echo, figural pattern — carries its own mark. Follow any reference to read it in place.

Echo1

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

Matt 9:14-17 ?

'The mountains shall drip sweet wine.' Like Joel, an eschatological new-wine motif faintly resonant with Jesus' claim that the new cannot be poured into the old.

Low confidence

Figural1

A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.

John 4:31-38

The eschatological harvest where 'the plowman overtakes the reaper' — sowing and reaping collapse together — underlies 'fields white for harvest already' and sower-and-reaper rejoicing together (v35-36). High Coherence with realized harvest; Volume strong on the compressed-harvest image.
