2 Nephi 15:20
20 Wo unto them that call evil good, and good evil, that put darkness for light, and light for darkness, that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Is that what you had in mind? This is a scripture that comes up quite often in our discussions.

Okay I understand. Yes 2 Nephi really does discuss Isaiah. Let me think on this one.

Opposition in all things. (2 Nephi 2:11)
Have you received His image in your countenance? (Alma 5) Weaknesses shall become strengths. (Ether 12:27) You receive no witness until after the trial of your faith. (Ether 12:6) By grace we are saved after all we can do. (2 Nephi 25:23) Feast upon the words of Christ. (2 Nephi 32:3)

While my offering bears little to no relevance to proverbs, the Book of Mormon displays a lot of Chiasmus, which you'll find plentiful in the Bible. You may well find proverbial lines in the following reference:

A Cumom in the hand is worth two Cureloms in the bush.
