KJV ORIGINAL
The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
The people living in Samaria are going to be terrified about what happens to their golden calf idols in Beth-aven. Everyone who used to worship there — the regular people and the priests who were so proud of it — they're all going to be devastated when its glory is stripped away and taken from them.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you put your trust in fake things, losing them hits different.
