Book of Mormon Mosiah 12:19

Book of Mormon Jacob 7:8
"the Lord God poured in his Spirit into my soul, insomuch that I did confound him in all his words"

Shared words: did confound

The confound-in-all-words frame — Jacob 7:8 'did confound him in all his words', Mosiah 12:19 'did confound them in all their words' — occurs at exactly these two verses in the corpus - the record's two doctrinal confrontations (Jacob vs Sherem; Abinadi vs Noah's priests), both attributing the confounding to divine help (Jacob: the Spirit poured in; Mosiah 12:19's neighboring clause: 'he answered them boldly'; the divine-aid attribution at the Mosiah end is the trial's wider frame rather than in-verse - stated honestly).
