1830 Edition

And now my son, I dwell no longer upon this horrible scene. Behold, thou knowest the wickedness of this people; thou knowest that they are without principle, and past feeling; and their wickedness doth exceed that of the Lamanites.

Changes

And now, my son, I dwell no longer upon this horrible scene. Behold, thou knowest the wickedness of this people; thou knowest that they are without principle, and past feeling; and their wickedness doth exceed that of the Lamanites.

Simple English

My son, I will not write any more about this terrible scene. You know how wicked these people are. They have no good in them. They do not feel anymore. Their wickedness is worse than the Lamanites.

Paraphrase

I won’t go on about this nightmare any longer. You know how wicked these people are. You know they have no principles left, no feeling. Their evil has surpassed even the Lamanites.
