Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
"they may by your good works... glorify God in the day of visitation" (2:12) uses 'day of visitation' (hēmera episkopēs), the LXX phrase of Isaiah 10:3 ('what will you do in the day of visitation?'); the Gentiles' eventual glorifying of God when God visits frames the eschatological reckoning behind honorable conduct.
Medium confidenceIsaiah's 'what will you do in the day of visitation' undergirds Jesus's reproach that Jerusalem 'did not know the time of your visitation.' The day-of-visitation as a moment of accountability and judgment coheres with Luke's siege lament. Medium; Jeremiah 6 carries the parallel verbal weight.
