Doctrine and Covenants D&C 13:1
"and this shall never be taken again from the earth, until the sons of Levi do offer again an offering unto the Lord in righteousness."
Old Testament Malachi 3:3
"And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness."

Shared words: the sons of Levi

Shared: 'the sons of Levi' and the offering formula. Word order of the formula differs — the section 'an offering unto the Lord in righteousness', Malachi 'unto the LORD an offering in righteousness'. Malachi's refining and purging have no counterpart in the section; the section's condition-and-terminus frame ('shall never be taken again from the earth, until') has none in Malachi. 'an offering in righteousness' stands at three frozen verses: Malachi 3:3, 3 Nephi 24:3 (Malachi's wording), and D&C 128:24 (quoting the passage at length); the section's word order matches none of the three.
