The source

For thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, to me: take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it. They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

Rev 14:8–12

'Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand, and cause all the nations... to drink it' — the cup of God's wrath given to the nations directly behind 'drink of the wine of the wrath of God... the cup of his anger.' Verbal coherence (LXX Jer 32).

Echo2

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

Luke 22:39-46 ?

The 'cup of the wine of wrath' that the nations must drink and stagger reinforces the OT 'cup' as judgment that Jesus invokes. The widespread prophetic recurrence of this image supports its presence behind the Gethsemane cup.

Medium confidence
Matt 26:36-46

the 'cup of the wine of wrath' given to the nations to drink reinforces the cup Jesus must drink as the cup of judgment.
