Helaman 13:38
1830 Edition
But behold, your days of probation is past; ye have procrastinated the day of your salvation, until it is everlastingly too late, and your destruction is made sure; yea, for ye have sought all the days of your lives for that which ye could not obtain; and ye have sought for happiness in doing iniquity, which thing is contrary to the nature of that righteousness which is in our great and Eternal Head.

Simple English
“But your time to prove yourselves is over. You have put off being saved for too long. Now it’s too late forever. Your destruction is certain. You have spent all your life looking for what you could not get. You looked for happiness by doing evil. But that goes against what is right. God is good and lives forever.”
Paraphrase
“But your time to prove yourselves will be past. You’ll have put off turning back to God until it’s too late forever, and your destruction will be certain. You’ve spent your whole lives chasing what you could never have. You looked for happiness in doing wrong, which goes against the very nature of righteousness that comes from our great and eternal God.”
