Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
‘In a very little while’ (v. 37) appears to be a conflated lead-in: Hebrews prefixes Hab 2:3 with the ‘yet a little while’ of Isa 26:20 LXX (‘hide for a little moment until the indignation is past’). The borrowed phrase, and the article on ‘the coming one,’ make the prophecy point to Christ's coming — a Greek-text move (availability/coherence).
Medium confidence'Hide yourselves for a little while (mikron) until the indignation passes' is the closest LXX source for the repeated 'a little while' bracketing distress before vindication. The mikron-then-deliverance pattern coheres tightly with 16:16-19.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you' — striking verbal overlap with 'enter into your inner room, and having shut your door,' though the contexts differ (hiding from wrath vs. private prayer).
