2 Nephi 29:4
1830 Edition
But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, they shall have a Bible; and it shall proceed forth from the Jews, mine ancient covenant people. And what thank they the Jews for the Bible which they receive from them? Yea, what do the Gentiles mean? Do they remember the travels, and the labors, and the pains of the Jews, and their diligence unto me, in bringing forth salvation unto the Gentiles?

Simple English
But the Lord God says: “You fools! You will have a Bible. It will come from the Jews, my ancient people with whom I made a promise. Do you thank the Jews for the Bible you got from them? What do these people who are not Jews mean? Do they remember the hard travels, work, and pain of the Jews? Do they remember how hard the Jews worked for me to bring God’s plan to save people?”
Paraphrase
This is what the Lord God says: “Fools! They have a Bible—one that came from the Jews, my ancient covenant people. But do they thank the Jews for the Bible they received from them? Do these outsiders remember the hardships the Jews endured, the labor and pain, the dedication they showed to bring salvation to the world?”
