Doctrine and Covenants D&C 29:21
"And the great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall be cast down by devouring fire, according as it is spoken by the mouth of Ezekiel the prophet"
Book of Mormon 1 Nephi 22:13
"And the blood of that great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall turn upon their own heads; for they shall war among themselves"

Shared words: great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth, shall

The verse names its source: "according as it is spoken by the mouth of Ezekiel the prophet". The chain, reported as textual fact: a search of all 48 frozen Ezekiel chapters finds no occurrence of "whore of all the earth" — though Ezekiel 16 and Ezekiel 23 carry the frozen Old Testament's densest whoredom-and-harlot imagery, applied there to named cities, so what is absent from Ezekiel is the phrase and the church-figure, not the image; the phrase "great and abominable church, which is the whore of all the earth" stands in 1 Nephi 22:13, which is the pairing shown. What that pattern means for the sources these texts drew on is not asserted; the wiki reports where the wording stands and where it does not.
