Hosea 11:6 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

War will stay in their cities, destroying everything they've built and wiping out their people — all because they chose to ignore God's guidance and do their own thing instead.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When you completely turn away from God's direction, the consequences will tear apart everything you've worked to build.

Lamentations 2:9

The city's gates have collapsed into the dirt; God has completely wrecked every defense they had. Their king and leaders are scattered among foreign nations as refugees. There's no law, no order, no guidance anymore — even the prophets can't hear anything from God.
