2 Nephi 19:1
1830 Edition
Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, and afterwards did more grievously afflict by the way of the Red Sea beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.

Isaiah 9:1 (KJV)
Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
Changes
Nevertheless, the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, and afterwards did more grievously afflict by the way of the Red Sea beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.
Simple English
But the darkness will not be as bad as it was before. At first, God let trouble come to the lands of Zebulun and Naphtali. Later, he brought much more trouble near the Red Sea, beyond the Jordan River, in the part of Galilee where many nations live.
Paraphrase
But the darkness won’t last forever. God first brought only light suffering to the lands of Zebulun and Naphtali. But later he brought crushing hardship—down by the Red Sea, across the Jordan, to Galilee where foreigners live.
