KJV ORIGINAL
Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
You want things so badly but can't get them. You're jealous and willing to hurt others to get what you desire, but you still come up empty. You argue and fight over stuff, but you're missing the point — you don't have what you need because you never actually ask God for it.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
All that fighting and scheming for what you want, when you could just ask God directly.
