Comparison of Mosiah 15:14-18 and Isaiah 52:7

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!
