Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, Yahweh will dwell there forever.

Echo2

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

Col 1:15-20 ?

'For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell' (v.19) faintly echoes the mountain that God 'desired for his dwelling,' where the LORD will dwell forever, transferring the chosen-dwelling motif onto Christ as the locus where God is pleased to dwell. Volume low; the eudokia/katoikein dwelling logic is the link.

Low confidence
Col 2:9-10 ?

That 'the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily' in Christ recasts the OT theme of God choosing to dwell on the mountain/sanctuary where the LORD will abide forever; Christ becomes the true locus of divine indwelling. The figural transfer of dwelling-glory is coherent though verbally faint.
