KJV ORIGINAL
And they shall not lie with the mighty that are fallen of the uncircumcised, which are gone down to hell with their weapons of war: and they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities shall be upon their bones, though they were the terror of the mighty in the land of the living.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
These fallen warriors won't get the honor of being buried alongside the legendary fighters of old — those who went to their graves with full military honors, swords placed under their heads like pillows. Even though they used to be absolutely terrifying when they were alive, their sins are going with them to the grave.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even the most feared people can't escape the weight of their choices when it's all over.
