Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord' parallels Paul's 'if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged' (v.31). The self-examination-averts-judgment logic is closely coherent with Lamentations' penitential exhortation.
Medium confidence'Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD' supplies a corporate self-examination motif close to Paul's command to test oneself. Volume is faint with no shared diction in Greek, so the echo is thematic. Coherence is supported by the repentance/restoration aim of the surrounding verses (perfecting, doing no evil).
