Shared words: behold and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him

An intra-collection record; the pairing puts the higher section first. Eleven consecutive words are identical, 'and lo, the Bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him', and that run stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus, these two - a longer agreement than either verse has with the parable that also carries the cry, where the shared run is seven words case-sensitively and nine counted case-insensitively. The one divergence inside the shared sentence is at its head: 'behold and lo' here against 'Behold, and lo' in the earlier section, a capital and a comma. Who cries differs entirely: in the earlier section the criers are angels flying through the midst of heaven and sounding the trump of God, and the cry is preceded by a judgment already come; in this one the cry goes forth among all people and is followed by a purpose the earlier section does not state, preparation for the great day of the Lord. The earlier section's cry stands at the end of its verse, this one's in the middle. The same section carries the summons a second time nine verses later in different words, 'prepare ye for the coming of the Bridegroom; go ye, go ye out to meet him' (D&C 133:19). This verse's separate pairing with Matthew 25:6 is registered at w8-dc133-bridegroom-matt25 and rests on a different run; the two records are distinct verse pairs and neither takes anything from the other. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
