Doctrine and Covenants D&C 98:9
"Nevertheless, when the wicked rule the people mourn."
Old Testament Proverbs 29:2
"but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn."

Shared words: rule the people mourn

Divergences: the proverb is a matched pair stating the righteous case first and the wicked case second; the revelation keeps only the second half, and compresses 'when the wicked beareth rule' to 'when the wicked rule'. 'the people mourn' stands at three distinct frozen verses in the corpus: these two and Numbers 14:39, where the sense is unrelated - disclosed, not paired.
