Doctrine and Covenants D&C 85:6
"Yea, thus saith the still small voice, which whispereth through and pierceth all things, and often times it maketh my bones to quake while it maketh manifest, saying:"
Old Testament 1 Kings 19:12
"And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."

Shared words: still small voice

Divergences: the article - 'the still small voice' against 'a still small voice' - and the grammatical role. In the narrative the voice is the last item in a sequence of phenomena and does nothing in its own verse; in the revelation it is the subject of four verbs and the speaker of everything that follows. 'still small voice' stands at three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these two and 1 Nephi 17:45, disclosed because the narrative verse is the one in which the voice is named as a thing rather than as a mode of speaking.
