Book of Mormon Mosiah 15:6
"even as Isaiah said, as a sheep before the shearer is dumb, so he opened not his mouth"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 14:7
"as a sheep before her shearers is dumb so he opened not his mouth"

Shared words: is dumb, so he opened not his mouth

Self re-quote with explicit citation formula ('even as Isaiah said'). Abinadi names Isaiah while quoting him at two points in the sermon: at the head of the recitation (Mosiah 14:1, 'Yea, even doth not Isaiah say', opening the Isaiah 53 chapter) and here at 15:6, where he re-quotes the shearer image with the naming formula. Divergence: 'the shearer' (singular) vs 14:7's 'her shearers' (plural). The Mosiah 14 / Isaiah 53 rows are hosted on isaiah.md.
