Mormon 5:24 · 3 Nephi 21:12
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
Near-verbatim shared phrasing on the skeleton: remnant of Jacob + as a lion + tear/teareth in pieces + none to deliver / none can deliver. The phrase 'as a lion' occurs 3x in the record: 3 Ne 20:16; 3 Ne 21:12; Mormon 5:24; corpus-wide it is a common simile, standing at a dozen or more further verses across the frozen Old Testament (Genesis 49:9, Numbers 24:9, Hosea 5:14, and others). Micah was retired from the comparanda class by name on 2026-07-26 and is an ordinary frozen-canon endpoint. Both 3 Ne 20:16 and 21:12 track Micah 5:8, and those two parallels are registered in their own right -- 3ne-cov-micah-lion-20-16 and 3ne-cov-micah-lion-21-12, hosted on this same page. THIS record is a different verse-pair, pairing Mormon 5:24 with the discourse's own 3 Ne 21:12, and makes no claim about Micah. Mormon turns the discourse's promise-image (the remnant of Jacob as an unstoppable lion among the Gentiles) back on those same Gentiles as a warning.
