KJV ORIGINAL
Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Do horses gallop on cliffs? Would anyone try to plow rocky ground with oxen? Of course not — that would be absolutely ridiculous. But that's exactly how backwards you've made things. You've turned justice into something bitter and poisonous, and you've made doing what's right feel toxic.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
You've made justice and righteousness so backwards that it's like trying to farm on a mountain — completely against how things are supposed to work.
