KJV ORIGINAL
For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
The fake gods people worship? They're just talking nonsense. Fortune tellers and dream interpreters are straight up lying to you, giving you empty comfort that doesn't actually help. That's why people are wandering around lost like sheep without anyone to guide them — confused and stressed because there's no real leader looking out for them.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
False hope leaves you more lost than having no hope at all.
