KJV ORIGINAL
The LORD hath cast off his altar, he hath abhorred his sanctuary, he hath given up into the hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces; they have made a noise in the house of the LORD, as in the day of a solemn feast.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
God turned his back on his own altar and couldn't stand to look at his sanctuary anymore. He let enemies take over the palace walls, and now they're making all kinds of noise in God's house — but instead of worship and celebration, it's chaos and destruction.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes even God steps back when his people have gone too far.
