Echo1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
Wisdom's invitation to eat her bread and drink her wine frames spiritual instruction as food and drink, resonating faintly with Paul's milk/solid-food pedagogy. Given chapter 3's larger wisdom-versus-folly argument, the sapiential feeding motif coheres, but the link is diffuse and contested.
Low confidence◇ Figural2
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
Wisdom's invitation 'Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed' stands behind 'I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not hunger.' Strong Coherence: Jesus speaks as personified Wisdom hosting a banquet that confers life.
High confidence'Eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed' — Wisdom's bread-and-wine banquet underlies the flesh-as-food/blood-as-drink doubling of vv.53-56. Lower distinctiveness than the Leviticus collision but adds the sapiential meal frame.
