Book of Mormon Moroni 10:31
"put on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion"
Old Testament Isaiah 52:1
"put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city"

Shared words: put on thy beautiful garments, O

Moroni's closing exhortation reworks the Isaiah 52 awakening-oracle rather than transcribing it. The anchor phrase 'put on thy beautiful garments' is Isaiah 52:1's; it stands four times in the corpus: Isaiah 52:1 itself, Jacob's reading (2 Ne 8:24, register 2ne-isa-block-52-1), the risen Lord (3 Ne 20:36, register 3ne-isa-awake-52-1), and here at the record's close. Where those two carried the verse near-verbatim, Moroni reworks it: he swaps the addressee ('O daughter of Zion' for 52:1's 'O Jerusalem'; cf. 52:2's 'O captive daughter of Zion') and turns 52:2's 'Shake thyself from the dust; arise' into 'arise from the dust'. He also fuses in Isaiah 54:2 ('strengthen thy stakes' -- a verse the risen Lord dictated whole at 3 Ne 22:2, where 'strengthen thy stakes' stands verbatim) and reworks 54:2's 'Enlarge the place of thy tent' into 'enlarge thy borders forever'. Addressee-swaps and reworkings reported as textual facts; the two x-linked records (2ne-isa-block-52-1, 3ne-isa-awake-52-1) are not re-registered. Distinct pair from moro-cov-house-israel-close (shared near end Moroni 10:31, different far end).
