KJV ORIGINAL
And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Are you really going to dishonor me in front of my people for some loose change — literally handfuls of grain and scraps of bread? You're destroying people who deserve to live and propping up people who deserve judgment, all because you're feeding my people lies and they're actually believing you.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's calling out fake prophets who sold out his people for pocket change and twisted the truth for profit.
