The Book of Mormon

Alma 58:35

1830 Edition

Behold, we do not know but what ye are unsuccessful, and ye have drawn away the forces into that quarter of the land; if so, we do not desire to murmur.

Simple English

We do not know if you are losing battles. Maybe you have sent the soldiers to another part of the land. If so, we do not want to complain.

Paraphrase

Maybe you’re facing setbacks and had to pull forces to another part of the country. If that’s the case, we won’t complain.
