Book of Mormon Mormon 2:10
"began to cry even as had been prophesied by Samuel the prophet; for behold no man could keep that which was his own"
Book of Mormon Helaman 13:36
"all things are become slippery, and we cannot hold them"

The slippery-curse enacted socially: Mormon narrates the people beginning 'to cry even as had been prophesied by Samuel the prophet; for behold no man could keep that which was his own' (Mormon 2:10) -- the loss of secure possession Samuel foretold when 'all things are become slippery, and we cannot hold them' (Helaman 13:36, part of Samuel's scripted future lament, 13:33-36). PARAPHRASE, not shared phrasing: the load-bearing clause 'no man could keep that which was his own' is Mormon 2:10's OWN wording -- it is the sole corpus hit, NOT drawn from Helaman 13:35-36, which carry the same idea in different words ('we cannot hold them', 'they have slipped away from us'). Mormon 2:10 itself names 'Samuel the prophet' as the source of the fulfilled cry (the fulfillment framing is the narrator's, not the wiki's). Distinct from morm-samuel-slippery-fulfilled (Mormon 1:18, the treasures becoming slippery); this record is the human cry that answers the curse.
