KJV ORIGINAL
I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
I'm not going to punish your daughters for sleeping around or your wives for cheating — because you men are doing the exact same thing with prostitutes and even bringing them into your religious ceremonies. When people refuse to get it, they're going to crash and burn.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
You can't hold others to standards you won't keep yourself — that hypocrisy will catch up to everyone.
