Isaiah 45:18

36 Behold, the Lord hath created the earth that it should be inhabited; and he hath created his children that they should possess it.

18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.

Victor L. Ludlow lists this as an Isaiah verse that is paraphrased in the Book of Mormon, but while I see a similarity in the subject, based on the context in the Book of Mormon and in the Bible I would not list this as an Isaiah quote.
