KJV ORIGINAL

In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even defiled my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

They built their places right next to mine — their doorways touching my doorways, their walls right up against mine. But then they filled those spaces with disgusting things that completely disrespected who I am. That's why I had to destroy them in my anger.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When you get close to God but bring toxic stuff with you, don't be surprised when consequences hit hard.

Judah completely betrayed God's trust, and something absolutely disgusting is happening in Israel and Jerusalem. They've disrespected everything sacred that God cherished, choosing to marry people who worship other gods instead.

You completely forgot how I took care of you when you had nothing, and instead you've been pushing every single one of my buttons. So here's what's going to happen — all the choices you made are coming back to you, says the Lord God. And you're going to stop adding this disgusting behavior on top of everything else you've already done.

So here's what I'm saying, and I mean it — because you completely trashed my sacred space with all your disgusting practices and awful choices, I'm going to cut you down to size. I won't look the other way anymore, and I won't feel sorry for you.
