Isaiah 54:1, opening anchor of 3 Nephi 22 = Isaiah 54 entire (17 verses for 17; the risen Lord quotes the chapter whole). It is not the corpus's first chapter-scale quotation of a prophet: Abinadi had quoted Isaiah 53 whole at Mosiah 14, and earlier still Nephi and Jacob had reproduced long Isaiah blocks — 1 Nephi 20-21 (Isaiah 48-49), 2 Nephi 7-8 (Isaiah 50-51), and 2 Nephi 12-24 (Isaiah 2-14). Near-verbatim vs KJV: 'child;' for 'child:'; 'Lord' for 'LORD'. Per-verse variant differences across the block are page facts (see isaiah.md); the register pins three anchors (this, 22:4, 22:9).
