But Yahweh said to me, “Don’t say, ‘I am a child;’ for to whoever I shall send you, you shall go, and whatever I shall command you, you shall speak. Don’t be afraid because of them; for I am with you to deliver you,” says Yahweh.

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Delivering you from the people, and from the Gentiles, to whom I send you' closely tracks Jeremiah's call: 'to all that I shall send you, you shall go... be not afraid of their faces: for I am with you to deliver you.' Both the sending and the promise of rescue are drawn from the prophet's commission.
High confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Exhort and reprove with all authority; let no man despise you' (v.15) faintly recalls the prophetic commissioning, where the young prophet is told not to fear, for God will be with him. A contested echo of prophetic emboldening, since the charge fits general pastoral exhortation.
