KJV ORIGINAL
They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
They've been choosing their own leaders without asking me, picking princes I never approved of. Then they take their money and precious things to make fake gods — which is exactly how they'll destroy themselves.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you ignore God's guidance and chase things that don't matter, you're setting yourself up to fall.
