KJV ORIGINAL
They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
People will literally throw their money in the streets and toss their gold like it's trash. When God's judgment comes, all that wealth won't save them — it can't fill the emptiness in their hearts or even put food on the table. Their obsession with money was actually what led them away from God in the first place.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When everything falls apart, you'll realize money was never the answer — it was actually part of the problem.
