1 Nephi 19:7
~588–570 BC
1830 Edition
For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at nought, and trample under their feet. Yea, even the very God of Israel, do men trample under their feet; I say, trample under their feet; but I would speak in other words: They do set him at nought, and hearken not to the voice of his counsels;

Changes
For the things which some men esteem to be of great worth, both to the body and soul, others set at noaught, and trample under their feet. Yea, even the very God of Israel, do men trample under their feet; I say, trample under their feet; but I would speak in other words: T—they do set him at noaught, and hearken not to the voice of his counsels;.
Simple English
Some people think certain things are very valuable for their bodies and souls. But other people think these same things are worthless and step on them. People even step on the very God of Israel. I mean they think he is worthless and don’t listen to his advice.
Paraphrase
What some people treasure for body and soul, others treat like garbage. People even trample the God of Israel underfoot—yes, trample him. To put it another way: they dismiss him completely and ignore his guidance.
