Book of Mormon Jacob 2:29
"this people shall keep my commandments, saith the Lord of Hosts, or cursed be the land for their sakes"
Book of Mormon 2 Nephi 1:7
"for if iniquity shall abound cursed shall be the land for their sakes"

Shared words: be the land for their sakes

The conditional land-curse formula crosses from Lehi's discourse (2 Nephi 1:7, hypothetical about future inheritors) into the Lord of Hosts' word through Jacob (2:29, aimed at a present congregation). It recurs in Jacob's own voice the same sermon: 'for except ye repent the land is cursed for your sakes' (Jacob 3:3).
