Doctrine and Covenants D&C 82:14
"For Zion must increase in beauty, and in holiness; her borders must be enlarged; her stakes must be strengthened; yea, verily I say unto you, Zion must arise and put on her beautiful garments."
Book of Mormon Moroni 10:31
"put on thy beautiful garments, O daughter of Zion; and strengthen thy stakes and enlarge thy borders forever"

Shared words: beautiful garments

Three elements stand in both verses - beautiful garments, stakes strengthened, borders enlarged - and only in these two among the corpus's carriers of any of them. Divergences: person and mood, the exhortation being a second-person imperative to a hearer against the revelation's third-person statement of necessity; the exhortation addresses Jerusalem and calls Zion a daughter, the revelation addresses Zion directly; the exhortation's stated purpose, that the covenants may be fulfilled, has no counterpart in the revelation. 'beautiful garments' stands at five distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these two, Isaiah 52:1, 2 Nephi 8:24, and 3 Nephi 20:36, all three of which carry the Isaiah wording and are disclosed.
