Allusion3
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
God tells Moses, 'I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.' Jesus' 'I will give you a mouth and wisdom' directly evokes this divine endowment of speech to a reluctant spokesman before a hostile king. Strong verbal and situational coherence.
High confidence'I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.' Moses' commissioning, where God overrides the inadequate speaker by supplying the very words, is the foundational background for 'it will be given you in that hour what you will say' and 'it is not you who speak' (10:19-20).
High confidence'I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak' is the foundational promise of God-supplied speech for a reluctant messenger, directly behind 'say whatever is given you in that hour.' The Moses-commissioning of inspired speech reinforces the Jeremiah parallel.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
God's promise to Moses, 'I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak,' is the prototype for 'the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.' The divine teaching-of-speech-under-trial motif gives good Coherence and clear Availability.
