Doctrine and Covenants D&C 133:64
"For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."
Old Testament Malachi 4:1
"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch."

Shared words: For, behold, the day cometh that shall burn as an oven, and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch

Forty-seven consecutive words match, and every divergence is a mark of punctuation or of case - four in all: the comma the prophecy prints after 'cometh'; the mark after 'oven', a comma in the section and a semicolon in the prophecy; the mark after 'stubble', a semicolon in the section and a colon in the prophecy; and the divine name, 'saith the Lord of hosts' in the section against 'saith the LORD of hosts' in the prophecy. Counted as printed, with nothing set aside, the longest unbroken run is twelve words, 'and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be'. The section names the prophet in the same verse, immediately before the words. The corpus carries a second rendering at 3 Nephi 25:1; the pairing is with Malachi because the section names Malachi by name and because the opening punctuation matches Malachi's, 'For, behold' against 'For behold'. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review. Joseph Smith—History 1:37 carries a third, variant rendering. Minted asserted_by: source at the 2026-08-10 editorial review.
