Echo2

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

Heb 4:12–16 ?

Parallel to Job 26:6, and closer still to Hebrews' move from cosmic exposure to the human heart: if Sheol lies open, ‘how much more the hearts of men.’ A faint a-fortiori echo behind ‘naked and laid open… the thoughts and intentions of the heart.’

Low confidence
Rev 9:1-12 ?

'Sheol and Abaddon are before the LORD' — another Abaddon/Sheol pairing in the wisdom corpus reinforcing the name's currency as a designation of the destructive underworld behind Rev 9:11.
