2 Nephi 29:9
1830 Edition
And I do this that I may prove unto many, that I am the same yesterday, to-day, and forever; and that I speak forth my words according to mine own pleasure. And because that I have spoken one word, ye need not suppose that I cannot speak another: for my work is not yet finished; neither shall it be, until the end of man; neither from that time henceforth and forever.

Simple English
“I do this to prove to many people that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever. I speak my words when I want to. Just because I have spoken one word doesn’t mean I can’t speak another. My work is not finished yet. It won’t be finished until the end of people’s time. It will never be finished from that time on and forever.”
Paraphrase
“I do this to prove to many that I’m the same yesterday, today, and forever—that I speak my words as I choose. Just because I’ve spoken one word doesn’t mean I can’t speak another. My work isn’t finished. It won’t be until the end of human history, and not even then.”
