1 Nephi 13:32 Textual Variants

neither will the Lord God suffer that the Gentiles shall forever remain in that state of awful wickedness which thou beholdest [that 0AJ|that >js NULL 1| BCDEFGHIKLMNOPQRST] they are in

We have already seen a similar example where the subordinate conjunction that was removed from the text:

Nephi 2:11
- and this they said [that 0| 1ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST] he had done because of the foolish imaginations of his heart

Such constructions involving a clause embedded within a clause may be awkward, but they are not ungrammatical. For a complete list of verbs that have occasionally lost the subordinate conjunction that from the head of the following complement, see that in volume 3.

Summary: In accord with the earliest textual sources, restore the subordinate conjunction that in 1 Nephi 13:32 (“which thou beholdest that they are in”).
