Mosiah 5:14
~124 BC
1830 Edition
And again: Doth a man take an ass which belongeth to his neighbor, and keep him? I say unto you, Nay; he will not even suffer that he shall feed among his flocks, but will drive him away, and cast him out. I say unto you, that even so shall it be among you, if ye know not the name by which ye are called.

Simple English
'Let me ask you this: Does a man take his neighbor’s donkey and keep it? No! He won’t even let it eat with his own animals. Instead, he will drive it away and send it out. I tell you, the same thing will happen to you if you don’t know the name you are called by.'
Paraphrase
'Let me ask you this: Would someone take his neighbor’s donkey and keep it? Of course not. He wouldn’t even let it graze with his own animals. He’d drive it away and kick it out. That’s how it’ll be with you if you don’t know the name you’re called by.'
