Echo2

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

Matt 15:1-9 ?

'You are near in their mouth and far from their heart' — close conceptual parallel to Isaiah 29:13's mouth/heart contrast that Jesus quotes; reinforces the lip-vs-heart motif.

Low confidence
Titus 1:10-16 ?

God's complaint that the wicked are 'near in their mouth, and far from their reins' parallels professing to know God while denying him by works. A faint contested echo overlapping with Isaiah 29:13.
