Book of Mormon 4 Nephi 1:43
"began to be proud in their hearts, because of their exceeding riches, and become vain like unto their brethren, the Lamanites"
Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 6:10
"some were lifted up unto pride and boastings because of their exceedingly great riches, yea, even unto great persecutions"

4 Nephi 1:43 restates the pride-cycle onset ('proud in their hearts, because of their exceeding riches') at the decline's deepening — the Nephites now match 3 Nephi 6:10's compressed enactment. The pairing is thematic, NOT a phrase match: 4 Nephi 1:43 reads 'exceeding riches' (a 4-hit phrase: 4 Nephi 1:43; Alma 4:6; Helaman 4:12 — both already on this page — and Ether 10:3), where 3 Nephi 6:10 reads 'exceedingly great riches'; the verbatim phrase-tie of 1:43 is thus to Alma 4:6 / Helaman 4:12, not to the far end. The far end 3 Nephi 6:10 carries id 3ne-riches-cycle-fastest (paired there with Helaman 3:36). 'become vain like unto their brethren, the Lamanites' is unique to 4 Nephi 1:43. Offered to weigh, not asserted.
