KJV ORIGINAL
The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
The roads that once led people to worship in Jerusalem are now empty and grieving. No one comes for the holy celebrations anymore. The city gates stand abandoned, the priests are heartbroken, the young women are suffering, and the whole place is drowning in pain.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When the heart of a community dies, everything that once brought life and joy just... stops.
