31:30 O Lord God, how long wilt thou suffer that such wickedness and infidelity shall be among this people? O Lord, wilt thou give me strength, that I may bear with mine infirmities. For I am infirm, and such wickedness among this people doth pain my soul.

 31:31 O Lord, my heart is exceedingly sorrowful; wilt thou comfort my soul in Christ. O Lord, wilt thou grant unto me that I may have strength, that I may suffer with patience these afflictions which shall come upon me, because of the iniquity of this people.

 31:32 O Lord, wilt thou comfort my soul, and give unto me success, and also my fellow laborers who are with me-- yea, Ammon, and Aaron, and Omner, and also Amulek and Zeezrom, and also my two sons-- yea, even all these wilt thou comfort, O Lord. Yea, wilt thou comfort their souls in Christ.

 31:33 Wilt thou grant unto them that they may have strength, that they may bear their afflictions which shall come upon them because of the iniquities of this people.

 31:34 O Lord, wilt thou grant unto us that we may have success in bringing them again unto thee in Christ.

 31:35 Behold, O Lord, their souls are precious, and many of them are our brethren; therefore, give unto us, O Lord, power and wisdom that we may bring these, our brethren, again unto thee.
