The source

“Behold, the days come,” says Yahweh, “that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the one treading grapes him who sows seed; and sweet wine will drip from the mountains, and flow from the hills. I will bring my people Israel back from captivity, and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them; and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them. They shall also make gardens, and eat their fruit.

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.

Mark 14:22-25 ?

The promise that in the restored kingdom 'the mountains shall drip sweet wine' and replanted vineyards yield abundance supports the eschatological vine-imagery of Jesus' pledge to drink anew in the Kingdom. The link is thematic, part of the prophetic vision of restored vintage in the age to come.

Low confidence

Figural1

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

John 2:1-11

The eschatological promise that the mountains shall drip sweet wine and the hills flow with it stands behind Cana's superabundance (six jars of 20-30 gallons each become the best wine). Coherence is high: John frames the sign as the dawn of the messianic age in which the prophets' image of overflowing wine is realized. Availability and Recurrence of the wine-of-the-age topos across the prophets strengthen the echo.
