KJV ORIGINAL
Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
Tell them this is what the Lord God says: I swear on my life — those hiding out in the ruins are going to fall in battle, anyone caught in the open will become food for wild animals, and those who think they're safe in their strongholds and caves will die from disease.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God's saying there's nowhere to run when judgment comes — it finds you everywhere.
