Did you know that among Old Testament books quoted at LDS General Conference, no one beats the Book of Isaiah? In fact, since the founding of the LDS Church, leaders of the church have quoted this prophet 4215 times.
That got us thinking since President Monson became a General Authority he has given more than 280 conference talks, just how many of those might have mentioned Isaiah?
We found the answer at the LDS Citation Index:
President Monson quoted Isaiah more than 40 times in the last 50 years and cited Isaiah 1:18 more than any other Isianic verse:
Come now,
and let us reason together,
saith the Lord:
though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool.
This verse was cited in eleven different conference talks, making it the Prophet’s top choice in Isaiah.

This text has been used by the Church Translation Department for the past 25 years as an English reference when translating The Book of Mormon into other languages.
The text in these .pdf files can be found in a book available on Amazon titled, “A Plain English Reference to The Book of Mormon”.
This work is written on a 7th to 8th grade level. It’s an adaptation, not a replacement, so it is highly recommended that you keep “The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ” close by for comparison purposes.
When questioning the truth about anything, we need to remember Moroni’s statement, “And by the power of the Holy Ghost, yet may know the truth of all things” (Moroni 10: 5). Also, Moroni helps us know how to properly judge anything that comes along, as to whether it be of God or of the devil (see Moroni 7:11-15). And finally, as Paul advises, we should prove all things and hold fast to that which is good. (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
