KJV ORIGINAL
He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

In his burning anger, he stripped away all of Israel's strength and power. He pulled back his protection right when they needed it most against their enemies, and his rage burned against his own people like a wildfire that destroys everything in its path.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes even God's protection gets withdrawn when his anger reaches a breaking point.
