KJV ORIGINAL
Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
After him, someone's going to take his place who's basically a tax collector for the kingdom's glory. But here's the thing — he won't last long at all. He'll be taken out, but not through some dramatic war or angry confrontation.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Some leaders rise up just to squeeze people for money, but their time at the top is shorter than they think.
