Echo3
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine' fuses redemption, calling, and possession exactly as Ephesians 1:7,14 do. Isaiah's new-exodus redemption is availably and thematically coherent with Paul's apolytrosis; medium because the link is motivic, not verbal.
Medium confidence"A faithful Creator" (4:19) draws on the prophetic confession of God as the faithful Creator and Redeemer of his people who can be trusted in trial. Faint, supports the entrusting-to-Creator theme.
Low confidence'Our redemption, the forgiveness of sins' (v.14) resonates with Isaiah's 'I have redeemed you, I have called you by name, you are mine,' and 43:25's blotting out of transgressions. Redemption coupled with forgiveness is a second-exodus motif; volume modest, flagged contested.
