With outrage and torture let us put him to the test, That we may learn his gentleness, And may prove his patience under wrong. Let us condemn him to a shameful death; For he will be visited according to his words.

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
The ungodly plot: 'Let us test him with insult and torture... condemn him to a shameful death' — Second-Temple text describing the persecution and mocking of the righteous son of God, closely paralleling the mockery of Jesus who is condemned and tortured as God's son.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The righteous one condemned 'to a shameful death' who tests God's claim coheres with Christ's obedient death on the cross and subsequent vindication. Wisdom 2-5 was available and shares the suffering-then-vindicated righteous pattern, but lexical overlap with Philippians is thin, so this is a faint contested echo.
