My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Hezekiah laments 'my dwelling is plucked up and removed from me like a shepherd's tent,' the body/life imaged as a collapsible tent that is struck down. Paul's 'earthly house of our tent is dissolved' shares the precise tent-as-mortal-life metaphor and the language of dissolution. Volume is modest but the conceptual match (tent = perishable bodily life) is striking.
Medium confidence'As long as I am in this tent… the putting off of my tent comes swiftly' uses the body-as-tent figure of Hezekiah's lament, 'my dwelling is plucked up and removed from me like a shepherd's tent.'
