Book of Mormon Alma 25:12
"even as a sheep having no shepherd is driven and slain by wild beasts; and now behold, these words were verified"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 17:17
"shall be driven and scattered to and fro, even as a wild flock is driven by wild and ferocious beasts"

The scattered/hunted half of Abinadi's dying sentence checked off with the narrator's own marker 'these words were verified' (Alma 25:12); the same audit function appears at Mosiah 21:4 with a different verb, 'that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled'. Paraphrase: the image is substituted - 'wild flock… wild and ferocious beasts' becomes 'a sheep having no shepherd… wild beasts'.
