KJV ORIGINAL

And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

The places where Isaac's descendants worship will be left empty and ruined, and Israel's sacred spaces will be completely destroyed. I'm coming for Jeroboam's royal family with judgment that cuts deep.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

God's saying the fake worship stops here — and the corrupt leadership is going down with it.
