Lamentations 2:9

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the LORD.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

The city's gates have collapsed into the dirt; God has completely wrecked every defense they had. Their king and leaders are scattered among foreign nations as refugees. There's no law, no order, no guidance anymore — even the prophets can't hear anything from God.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When everything you trusted in falls apart, even spiritual connection can feel completely cut off.
