KJV ORIGINAL
Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God?
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
The priests who serve God should cry out between the entrance and the altar, praying: 'Please spare your people, God. Don't let your own family become a joke or let other nations take over. Why should people look around and ask, Where's their God when they need him?'
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Even the spiritual leaders need to get real with God and fight for their people in prayer.
