Doctrine and Covenants D&C 34:9
"and the stars shall refuse their shining, and some shall fall, and great destructions await the wicked."
Old Testament Joel 3:15
"The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining."

Shared words: and the stars shall

One word differs inside the run: the prophet's stars withdraw their shining, the revelation's refuse it. That verb in this construction stands at exactly one frozen verse, D&C 34:9; the corpus's other renderings have the stars falling from heaven (Matthew 24:29, D&C 29:14, D&C 45:42) or withdrawing their shining (Joel 2:10, Joel 3:15). Reported as a textual fact; the wiki draws no conclusion from the divergence.
