This is a side-by-side comparison of Mosiah 15:14-18 and Isaiah 52:7.
For this one I will not mark all the similarities. These five verses in Mosiah all draw on the same verse in Isaiah and vary the wording of different passages to make a point. The verses in Mosiah are better understood if they are read in context. They are in response to a previous quote of the same verse in Isaiah.
Mosiah 15:14-18 | Isaiah 52:7 |
14 And these are they who have published peace, who have brought good tidings of good, who have published salvation; and said unto Zion: Thy God reigneth! |
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! |
15 And O how beautiful upon the mountains were their feet! |
|
16 And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those that are still publishing peace! |
|
17 And again, how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who shall hereafter publish peace, yea, from this time henceforth and forever! |
|
18 And behold, I say unto you, this is not all. For O how beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that is the founder of peace, yea, even the Lord, who has redeemed his people; yea, him who has granted salvation unto his people; |
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! |
