Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death' supplies the same image Paul deploys: God exposing what is concealed in darkness. The verbal coherence (darkness brought to light) supports an echo, though the motif is widespread enough to be one of several converging texts rather than a single quotation.
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Job's praise that God 'uncovers deep things out of darkness and brings deep shadow to light' supplies the same imagery of hidden things brought into the light. The verbal overlap (darkness/light, revealing) is suggestive but the motif is widespread, so confidence is low.
Low confidence'This is your hour, and the power of darkness' resonates faintly with OT contrasts of God uncovering deep darkness; the darkness/light dualism is broadly available in the Psalms and Job. The link is thematic and weak.
