Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'When they are humbled you say, It is because of pride; but he saves the lowly' anticipates 'humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.' The humbling-then-exalting reversal is the same.
Medium confidenceJob 22:29 states that when one is brought low he says 'lift up,' for God saves the lowly of eyes, matching both the exaltation-of-the-humble logion and the detail that the tax collector would not lift up his eyes. The eyes-lowered humility detail strengthens the link beyond the common reversal topos. Medium volume.
