Habakkuk 3:16 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

When I heard this, my whole body shook — my stomach dropped, my lips were trembling, and I felt weakness deep in my bones. I was literally shaking, but I know I can find peace even when everything falls apart, because when God shows up to deal with his enemies, he's bringing his army.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes the truth hits so hard it shakes you, but that's how you know real peace is coming.
