A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Samaria's guilt brings the sword, infants dashed in pieces and pregnant women ripped open. Jesus' woe to the pregnant and nursing in the day of wrath echoes this prophetic horror of judgment falling on mothers and children. Coherence with the siege-atrocity motif.
Medium confidenceHosea's judgment that Samaria's infants will be dashed in pieces and her pregnant women ripped open supplies another prophetic image of children destroyed in conquest behind 'dash you and your children to the ground.' The atrocity-on-children topos coheres but Hosea concerns Samaria. Low and contested.
