Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Eliphaz's taunt, 'Have you listened in the council of God, and do you limit wisdom to yourself?' anticipates the rhetorical thrust of v.16, 'who has known the mind of the Lord?' The motif of inaccessible divine counsel is shared, but the verbal link is to Isaiah rather than Job, so this is a faint, contested background echo.
Low confidence'Have you heard the secret counsel of God?'—the rhetorical challenge to anyone claiming to be God's counselor—anticipates v.34's 'who has been his counselor?' alongside the primary Isa 40:13 quotation.
