Doctrine and Covenants D&C 42:9
"that ye may be my people and I will be your God"
Old Testament Jeremiah 32:38
"And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:"

Shared words: be my people and I will be

Divergences: person - the revelation addresses the covenant to its hearers in the second person ('ye… your') where the prophecy states it of a third party ('they… their'). The third-person form stands at five distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Jeremiah 24:7, Jeremiah 32:38, Ezekiel 11:20, Ezekiel 37:23, and Zechariah 8:8; Jeremiah 32:38 is paired because it is the bare formula with nothing else in the verse, and the other four are disclosed. The second-person form of D&C 42:9 stands at exactly one.
