Doctrine and Covenants D&C 101:21
"and then I have other places which I will appoint unto them, and they shall be called stakes, for the curtains or the strength of Zion."
Old Testament Isaiah 54:2
"let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;"

Registered as allusion, not shared phrasing: the two words are shared, the wording around them is not. Divergences: in the prophecy both words are parts of an actual tent being enlarged and the verbs are imperatives to the addressee; in the revelation 'stakes' has become the name of a settlement type and 'curtains' a gloss on what such settlements are for. The prophecy's verse stands in the record too, at 3 Nephi 22:2, disclosed not paired. 'strengthen thy stakes' stands at three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Isaiah 54:2, 3 Nephi 22:2, and Moroni 10:31.
