KJV ORIGINAL
Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Because God is absolutely furious, no one will live there anymore — it's going to be completely empty and ruined. Everyone who passes by Babylon will be shocked and shake their heads at all the destruction they see.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When God's patience runs out, even the mightiest places become ghost towns that make people stop and stare.
