KJV ORIGINAL
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
The worship sites at Aven — where Israel went completely off track — are going to be wiped out. Weeds and thorns will grow all over their altars. People will be so desperate they'll beg the mountains to bury them and the hills to crush them.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you build your life on the wrong foundation, even the ground beneath you becomes unbearable.
