2 Nephi 26:10

1830 Edition

And when these things shall have passed away, a speedy destruction cometh unto my people; for, notwithstanding the pains of my soul, I have seen it; wherefore, I know that it shall come to pass; and they sell themselves for nought; for, for the reward of their pride, and their foolishness, they shall reap destruction; for because they yieldeth unto the Devil, and choose works of darkness rather than light; therefore they must go down to hell,

And when these things shall have passed away, a speedy destruction cometh unto my people; for, notwithstanding the pains of my soul, I have seen it; wherefore, I know that it shall come to pass; and they sell themselves for noaught; for, for the reward of their pride, and their foolishness, they shall reap destruction; for because they yieldeth unto the Ddevil, and choose works of darkness rather than light;, therefore they must go down to hell,.

Simple English

After these things pass away, quick destruction will come to my people. Even though it hurts my soul, I have seen it. So I know it will happen. They sell themselves for nothing. Because of their pride and foolishness, they will reap destruction. They give in to the Devil and choose dark works instead of light. So they must go down to hell.

Paraphrase

But after these things pass, destruction will come quickly to my people. Despite the pain it causes me, I have seen it—I know it will happen. They will sell themselves for nothing. The reward for their pride and foolishness will be destruction. Because they give in to the devil and choose darkness over light, they must go down to hell.
