KJV ORIGINAL
And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
They're lounging on clothes that people put up as collateral for loans, right there by the altars. And they're drinking wine that was taken from people they fined unjustly — all while they're in their god's house.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
They're flexing with stuff they basically stole from people who couldn't afford it, even in their place of worship.
