Doctrine and Covenants D&C 133:53
"In all their afflictions he was afflicted. And the angel of his presence saved them; and in his love, and in his pity, he redeemed them, and bore them, and carried them all the days of old;"
Old Testament Isaiah 63:9
"In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old."

Shared words: in his love, and in his pity, he redeemed them, and

The two verses run parallel from first word to last, thirty-seven words on each side, with three divergences of wording: the number, 'affliction' in the prophecy standing plural in the revelation; one conjunction the revelation adds, 'saved them; and in his love' against the prophecy's 'saved them: in his love'; and the verb with its pronoun, the prophecy's 'and he bare them' against the revelation's 'and bore them'. The rest is pointing and case, the revelation breaking the sentence at 'In all their afflictions he was afflicted. And' where the prophecy runs on with 'In all their affliction he was afflicted, and'. Counted as printed, with nothing set aside, the longest unbroken run is eight words, 'them, and carried them all the days of'. This is the longest continuous correspondence in the section. 'angel of his presence' stands at three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Isaiah 63:9, Abraham 1:15, and D&C 133:53. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review.
