Abinadi does Isaiah better than the KJV! "Skousen has noted that Abinadi’s quotation of Isaiah 53:7 more consistently uses the past tense than does the KJV. In the KJV translation, the second occurrence of the verb “open” is rendered with present tense “openeth not his mouth” instead of the past tense “opened not his mouth” as it is rendered earlier in the verse. Mosiah 14:7 consistently renders the verbs in the past tense, “opened not his mouth.” The Book of Mormon version renders the underlying Hebrew verbs of Isaiah 53:7 more correctly than does the KJV. Again, this observation can be seen to support the thesis of this essay. Skousen, Analysis of Textual Variants, Part Two, 1321–1322." as noted in <https://knowhy.bookofmormoncentral.org/knowhy/why-did-book-of-mormon-prophets-speak-of-future-events-as-if-they-had-already-happened#footnote5_4qgnam9>, accessed on 9 June 2020.
