KJV ORIGINAL
Jerusalem hath grievously sinned; therefore she is removed: all that honoured her despise her, because they have seen her nakedness: yea, she sigheth, and turneth backward.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Jerusalem messed up badly, and now she's been cast aside. Everyone who used to respect her now looks down on her because they've seen her at her absolute worst and most vulnerable. She's left sighing and trying to hide from the shame.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When we fall hard, even those who once celebrated us might turn away — but that's when we need grace the most.
