KJV ORIGINAL
Judah is gone into captivity because of affliction, and because of great servitude: she dwelleth among the heathen, she findeth no rest: all her persecutors overtook her between the straits.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Judah got completely overwhelmed by suffering and brutal oppression, so they ended up captive in foreign lands. Now they're living among people who don't know God, and they can't find any peace or safety. Every enemy that was chasing them cornered them when they had nowhere left to run.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes life backs you into a corner where every escape route is blocked.
