Echo2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'From the fruit of his mouth a man is satisfied with good' — wisdom linking words to fruit and to one's standing (justification/condemnation by speech), undergirding 'by your words you will be justified.'
Medium confidence'From the fruit of his mouth a man is satisfied with good' connects mouth, fruit, and the good a person produces, a faint wisdom echo behind vv.44-45. Low confidence given the commonplace nature of fruit imagery.
