Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

High confidenceThe 'furnace of blazing fire' (kaminos tou pyros) into which the disobedient are cast — verbal source for casting the wicked 'into the furnace of fire' (v.42).
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
