KJV ORIGINAL
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
But don't bother measuring the outer courtyard of the temple — just skip it completely. That area's been handed over to the non-Jewish nations, and they're going to completely take over the holy city for forty-two months.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Sometimes sacred spaces get invaded, but it's not forever — there's always an end date to the chaos.
