Book of Mormon Alma 45:16
"Cursed shall be the land, yea, this land, unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, unto destruction, which do wickedly, when they are fully ripe"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 28:16
"in that day that they are fully ripe in iniquity they shall perish"

Shared words: they are fully ripe

Shared distinctive element: 'fully ripe' tied to DESTRUCTION of the wicked. Honesty notes: (1) 'fully ripe' is NOT corpus-unique — Mosiah 12:12 uses it of a thistle blossom, different frame; the binding contact is ripeness-unto-destruction. Disclosed 2026-08-10 at the D&C freeze: the phrase stands at eight corpus verses, and one of the newly frozen ones bears on the frame rather than only on the frequency — D&C 86:7 sets it in the wheat-and-tares harvest, 'until the harvest is fully ripe', with the tares bound and the field left to be burned. (2) Chain ends Alma 37:28, 37:31; the secret-combinations frame pointed to Ether — 'until ye are fully ripe ye shall be cut off from the presence of the Lord' (Ether 2:15) carries the same ripeness-unto-destruction frame — the Jaredite decree is registered at eth-pl-swept-off-decree (Ether 2:9 <-> 2 Nephi 1:7), whose 2:9 anchor carries the ripened-in-iniquity clause; 2:15 is disclosed in its note-context on promised-land.md.
