1 Nephi 18:15
1830 Edition
And it came to pass that we were about to be swallowed up in the depths of the Sea. And after that we had been driven back upon the waters for the space of four days, my brethren began to see that the judgment of God was upon them, and that they must perish, save that they should repent of their iniquities; wherefore, they came unto me and loosed the bands which was upon my wrists, and behold, they had much swolen, exceedingly; and also, mine ancles were much swollen, and great was the soreness thereof.

Simple English
We were about to be swallowed up in the deep sea. After we had been blown back on the waters for four days, my brothers began to see that God’s judgment was on them. They would die unless they repented of their sins. So they came to me and untied the ropes on my wrists. My wrists had swollen very much. My ankles were also very swollen and very sore.
Paraphrase
We were about to sink. After four days of being driven backward, my brothers finally realized God was judging them and they’d die if they didn’t repent. So they came and untied me. My wrists were badly swollen, and my ankles were swollen and extremely painful.
