Doctrine and Covenants D&C 88:17
"in whose bosom it is decreed that the poor and the meek of the earth shall inherit it"
Book of Mormon 3 Nephi 12:5
"And blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."

Shared words: the meek

The beatitude promises the meek the earth; the revelation names two groups and makes the inheritance the object of a decree. The same promise stands at Matthew 5:5; the pairing is with the Bountiful rendering because the revelation's inheritance clause, like it, drops the 'Blessed are' frame.
