He has laid my vine waste, and stripped my fig tree. He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away. Its branches are made white.

Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'It has laid waste my vine and splintered my fig tree' joins vine and fig under devastation, the same agrarian pair behind Luke's parable. Low Volume and contested, but recurrence of the vine-fig motif gives it some weight.
Low confidenceJoel's judgment imagery includes the LORD laying waste the vine and barking the fig tree so that its branches are made white, part of a Day-of-the-LORD agricultural desolation. The shared fig-tree-judgment field adds recurrence, though the verbal contact is faint and the theme is widely diffused, so the link is contested.
