Doctrine and Covenants D&C 34:9
"But before that great day shall come, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon be turned into blood; and the stars shall refuse their shining, and some shall fall, and great destructions await the wicked."
Old Testament Joel 2:31
"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come."

Shared words: the sun shall be

Divergences: the prophet turns the sun into darkness, the revelation darkens it; the prophet's day is 'great and the terrible', the revelation's 'that great day'. 'moon be turned into blood' stands at exactly two frozen verses: this one and D&C 45:42. Acts 2:20 carries the prophet's wording in a further frozen verse — disclosed, not paired.
