The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Hosea announces, 'the days of punishment (vengeance) have come, the days of recompense have come; Israel shall know it,' against a faithless people. Jesus' phrase 'days of vengeance' is the closest verbal echo, applied likewise to Israel's judgment. Strong volume on the distinctive plural idiom.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'The days of visitation have come, the days of recompense have come' supplies the prophetic 'the wrath/days have come' formula behind v. 16 ('wrath has come upon them to the uttermost'). Coherent with the prophetic wrath topos; contested as a specific source.
