Book of Mormon Alma 37:41
"They were slothful, and forgot to exercise their faith and diligence and then those marvelous works ceased, and they did not progress in their journey"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 1:17
"as they were unfaithful they did not prosper nor progress in their journey, but were driven back"

Shared words: progress in their journey

Shared verbal core 'did not … progress in their journey' — joined to the fathers' wilderness failure at exactly these two verses. Mosiah 1:17 verbally closer than 1 Ne 18:12-13 (no 'progress' language there). Alma adds the named vice 'slothful'; consequence at 37:42. Benjamin's 'driven back' clause is registered separately (mos-liahona-driven-back).
