Allusion2
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Parallel to Jeremiah 10:25, 'the nations that do not know you,' the same formula identifying Gentiles by their ignorance of God. The two texts are nearly identical and both stand behind Paul's phrase 'who don't know God.'
High confidenceThe plea to 'pour out your anger on the nations that do not know you, and on the kingdoms that do not call on your name' is the closest Psalter parallel to 1:8's vengeance on 'those who don't know God.' Together with Jeremiah 10:25 it supplies the formulaic designation of the wicked. High confidence as a shared source.

'The world has not known you' (v25) echoes 'the nations that do not know you,' the contrast between God's people and the ignorant nations. Coherent with John's world/disciples antithesis but the phrasing is generic; low Volume.
