KJV ORIGINAL
For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Ships from the west will come to oppose him, and he'll be totally frustrated and have to back down. But then he'll get angry and turn against God's people and their sacred promises. He'll actually team up with those who've already abandoned their faith.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When someone's plans get blocked, watch out — they might take their anger out on the people who stayed faithful.
