KJV ORIGINAL
And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
The nations were furious, but your anger has arrived too. It's time for the dead to face judgment, time for you to reward your servants — the prophets, the people who've stayed faithful to you, everyone who respects your name whether they're nobody special or someone important. And it's time to destroy the people who are destroying the earth.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When the world gets mad at God, he's got his own justice coming — rewards for the faithful and consequences for those wrecking his creation.
