For the Lord Yahweh will help me; therefore I have not been confounded: therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be disappointed. He is near who justifies me; who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together: who is my adversary? Let him come near to me. Behold, the Lord Yahweh will help me; who is he who shall condemn me? Behold, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up.

Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The Servant's confident 'the Lord GOD helps me... who will declare me guilty?' parallels 3:13 'who is he who will harm you, if you become imitators of that which is good?' — vindication of the righteous sufferer. Faint, thematic.
Low confidenceThe Servant 'set his face' and is vindicated by God who 'justifies' him; Paul's 'fellowship of his sufferings... conformed to his death' followed by resurrection vindication may echo the suffering-then-vindicated Servant pattern. Faint, figural.
