Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'In the day of YHWH's wrath... the whole earth shall be consumed' supplies the universal, future, fiery character of 'the wrath to come.' Reinforces 1:15 as the Day-of-the-Lord matrix from which deliverance is needed.
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'In the fire of his jealousy all the earth shall be consumed' is a further day-of-the-LORD-by-fire antecedent for the burning heavens and melting elements.
Medium confidenceThe ‘day of wrath’ devouring fire of Zephaniah feeds the same ‘fierceness of fire’ image. Lower volume than Isa 26:11 and harder to isolate, but the prophetic ‘fire of his jealousy that devours’ is the shared topos commentators cite behind v. 27.
