KJV ORIGINAL

And falling into a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the waves.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

They hit this spot where two currents crashed together and ran the ship straight into the ground. The front got completely stuck and wouldn't budge, but the back of the ship was getting absolutely destroyed by the waves.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes you get stuck in the front but broken in the back — life hits different from every angle.

Revelation 18:8

That's why all her disasters will hit in a single day — death, grief, and starvation. She'll be completely destroyed by fire, because the Lord God who's judging her doesn't mess around.
