The Book of Mormon

Or is it that ye have neglected us because ye are in the heart of our country, and ye are surrounded by security, that ye do not cause food to be sent unto us, and also men to strengthen our armies?

Or is it that ye have neglected us because ye are in the heart of our country, and ye are surrounded by security, that ye do not cause food to be sent unto us, and also men to strengthen our armies?

Simple English

Or maybe you have not helped us because you are safe in the middle of our country. Maybe because you are surrounded by safety, you don’t send us food. Maybe you don’t send men to make our armies stronger.

Paraphrase

Or have you neglected us because you’re safe in the heartland, surrounded by security, so you don’t bother sending food or reinforcements to us?
