But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

Echo3
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Paul's paradox that weakness is the condition of renewed power restates Isaiah's 'they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength.' Recurrence within the same Isaianic passage (40:29-31) and Paul's documented dependence on Isaiah in 2 Corinthians strengthen the link beyond a generic strength-theme.
Medium confidence'Don't be weary in doing well' may echo Isaiah's promise that those who wait on the Lord will renew strength, run and not be weary, walk and not faint. The shared vocabulary of not growing weary is suggestive but the Isaian context is endurance, not active well-doing.
Low confidence'In the strength of his might' (en to kratei tes ischyos autou, 6:10) resonates with Isaiah's promise that those who wait on the Lord 'shall renew their strength.' The verbal contact is thematic (divine strengthening of the weak) rather than lexical, so a faint echo.
