The Book of Mormon

2 Nephi 10:8

1830 Edition

And it shall come to pass that they shall be gathered in from their long dispersion, from the isles of the sea, and from the four parts of the earth; and the nations of the Gentiles shall be great in the eyes of me, saith God, in carrying them forth to the lands of their inheritance.

Simple English

They will be gathered from far away. They will come from islands in the sea and from all parts of the earth. God says the nations of non-Jews will be important in his eyes. They will help carry his people back to their lands.

Paraphrase

They’ll be gathered from their long exile—from islands across the sea and from the four corners of the earth. The Gentile nations will become important in my eyes, God says, because they’ll help bring my people back to their inheritance.
