Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Nahum 2:1 LXX (1:15 EVV) repeats Isaiah's herald motif: 'behold upon the mountains the feet of one bringing good news and announcing peace.' Its near-identical wording strengthens the 'gospel of peace' shoe imagery, though Isaiah 52:7 is the primary source.
Medium confidence'Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings good tidings, that publishes peace' is a parallel herald-of-peace text reinforcing the Isaianic background of v36.
Low confidence'Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good tidings, who proclaims peace' — closely parallels Isaiah 52:7 and may be conflated in Paul's wording (feet + good tidings + peace). Possible secondary scriptural source for the same image. Disputed.
