KJV ORIGINAL
Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Even if someone's doing well and thriving compared to everyone around them, God's judgment is coming like a harsh wind from the desert. It'll dry up everything they depend on — their resources, their security, their good life. All the nice things they've collected? Gone.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Success without God is just a mirage that's about to disappear.
