KJV ORIGINAL
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
In his place, this really sketchy person is going to rise up — someone who doesn't deserve to rule at all. Nobody's going to hand him the crown, but he'll slide in smooth-talking everyone and charm his way to power through flattery and manipulation.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Watch out for leaders who sweet-talk their way to the top instead of earning it.
