KJV ORIGINAL
Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Otherwise I'll leave her with absolutely nothing — completely exposed and vulnerable like the day she came into this world. I'll turn her life into a wasteland, make everything around her dry and empty, and let her die from wanting what she can't have.
