Lamentations 5:18 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Mount Zion — the place that was once so sacred and alive — is now completely empty. It's so abandoned that wild foxes just wander around where people used to worship.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Even the most sacred places can become empty when we lose what matters most.
