Alma 15:5

1830 Edition

And it came to pass that they went immediately, obeying the message which he had sent unto them; and they went in unto the house unto Zeezrom; and they found him upon his bed sick, being very low with a burning fever; and his mind also was exceeding sore, because of his iniquities; and when he saw them, he stretched forth his hand, and besought them that they would heal him.

And it came to pass that they went immediately, obeying the message which he had sent unto them; and they went in unto the house unto Zeezrom; and they found him upon his bed, sick, being very low with a burning fever; and his mind also was exceedingly sore, because of his iniquities; and when he saw them, he stretched forth his hand, and besought them that they would heal him.

Simple English

They went right away. They obeyed his message. They went into Zeezrom’s house. They found him lying on his bed sick. He was very weak with a burning fever. His mind also hurt very badly because of his sins. When he saw them, he reached out his hand. He begged them to heal him.

Paraphrase

They went right away. When they arrived at his house, they found him lying in bed, barely clinging to life. The fever was raging. His guilt was crushing him. When he saw them, he reached out his hand and begged them to heal him.
