KJV ORIGINAL

As for the beauty of his ornament, he set it in majesty: but they made the images of their abominations and of their detestable things therein: therefore have I set it far from them.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

God gave them something absolutely gorgeous and set it up to be honored and respected. But instead, they turned it into a place for making disgusting idols and all kinds of stuff that totally goes against everything God stands for. So God said 'I'm done' and took it all away from them.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When you take something beautiful God gave you and use it for the wrong things, don't be surprised when it gets taken away.
