KJV ORIGINAL
And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thine hand. If it seem good unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well unto thee: but if it seem ill unto thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
Look, I'm taking off these chains right now. If you want to come with me to Babylon, come — I'll take good care of you. But if you don't want to come, that's totally fine too. The whole land is open to you. Go wherever feels right.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
True freedom is having real choices, not just broken chains.
