Doctrine and Covenants D&C 109:25
"That no weapon formed against them shall prosper"
Old Testament Isaiah 54:17
"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper"

Shared words: no weapon

The prophecy's relative clause is compressed - 'no weapon that is formed' reads 'no weapon formed' - and the addressee shifts from the prophecy's singular 'thee' to the prayer's plural 'them'. 'no weapon' stands at exactly four distinct frozen verses in the corpus, counted case-insensitively: Isaiah 54:17, 3 Nephi 22:17, D&C 71:9, and this verse. The case-insensitive count is the material one: this verse prints the phrase mid-sentence in lower case, the two prophecy carriers at the head of theirs. D&C 109 is a prayer addressed to God, not a divine first-person address; the section's statements are the petitioners' and are reported as such. Counts are of distinct frozen verses in the corpus, derived by search at the time of writing.
