The source

For your Maker is your husband; Yahweh of Armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; the God of the whole earth shall he be called. For Yahweh has called you as a wife forsaken and grieved in spirit, even a wife of youth, when she is cast off,” says your God.

Echo3

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

Rev 19:6-10

'your Maker is your husband... the LORD has called you like a wife forsaken' - covenantal husband-wife template behind the marriage of the Lamb to his bride/wife (Rev 19:7).

Medium confidence
Mark 2:18-22 ?

"Your Maker is your husband" continues the prophetic marriage metaphor that legitimates Jesus' bridegroom self-identification. No verbal borrowing, but it reinforces the availability of the God-as-husband tradition Jesus draws on. Contested and low.

Low confidence
Matt 9:14-17 ?

'Your Maker is your husband.' Another strand of the bridegroom-God tradition reinforcing the nuptial joy that suspends mourning while the bridegroom is present.
