Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 9:51
"do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy. Hearken diligently unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come unto the Holy One of Israel, and feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted, and let your soul delight in fatness"
Old Testament Isaiah 55:2
"do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness"

Shared words: spend money for that which is

Continues the Isaiah 55 material from 9:50: Jacob reworks Isaiah's questions into commands while keeping the hearken charge (Isaiah 55:2 'hearken diligently unto me'; 2 Nephi 9:51's sentence-opening 'Hearken diligently unto me') and the closing fatness clause — Isaiah's 'let your soul delight itself in fatness' pared to 2 Nephi's 'let your soul delight in fatness' — nearly intact.
