Doctrine and Covenants D&C 103:10
"they are as salt that has lost its savor, and is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men."

The run 'as salt that … lost its savor' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus - these two - and this pairing is registered on that phrase rather than on the commoner salt-of-the-earth wording. Divergences: tense, 'has lost' against 'hath lost'; who does the treading, 'of men' against 'of my people, O house of Israel'; and the condition attached - the record's is a people's refusal to hearken, the revelation's a failure to be what the previous verse calls them (D&C 103:9).
