KJV ORIGINAL
As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
I swear on my life, says the Lord God, that king is going to die right there in Babylon — in the very place where the king who put him in power lives. He broke his promises, trashed the deal they made, and now he's going to face the consequences right where it all started.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Break your word, face the music — God sees everything and consequences always come full circle.
