KJV ORIGINAL

✦ MADE SIMPLE

But I'm going to push that army from the north far away from you. I'll drive them into a dry, empty wasteland — their front lines facing the eastern sea, their back end toward the western sea. And they'll rot there, stinking up the whole place, because they went way too far with what they did.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's pushing back the enemies who overstepped — they're about to find out what consequences look like.
