Book of Mormon Mosiah 12:2
"shall be brought into bondage, and shall be smitten on the cheek"
Book of Mormon Mosiah 21:3
"they would smite them on their cheeks, and exercise authority over them"

Prophecy-to-execution pair; the narrator stamps the fulfillment in the next verse: 'Yea, all this was done that the word of the Lord might be fulfilled' (Mosiah 21:4). Divergences: prophecy singular 'the cheek' vs narrative plural 'their cheeks'; future passive ('shall be smitten') becomes iterative past practice ('they would smite').
