Matt 24:29-31 ?

Isaiah 24:23, the moon abashed and the sun ashamed when the LORD reigns in glory on Zion, belongs to the same Isaianic cluster of luminaries failing at the LORD's appearing.

Low confidence
Rev 4:4-6 ?

Contested source for the twenty-four enthroned “elders.” Isaiah envisions Yahweh reigning “before his elders... in glory,” the only OT throne-text that explicitly seats elders in the divine presence-glory (cf. Exod 24:9-10, the seventy elders who see God). Thematic coherence is suggestive — enthroned elders around the reigning LORD — but verbal volume is thin and the number twenty-four (24 priestly/Levitical courses, 1 Chr 24-25; or 12+12) is not from Isaiah. Held at low/contested.
