KJV ORIGINAL
And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
When that time comes, I'm going to search through Jerusalem like someone looking for something with a flashlight. I'll call out the people who've gotten way too comfortable in their routines — the ones who think to themselves, 'God doesn't really get involved. He's not going to help or hurt anyone.'
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God sees through the people who think he's checked out and won't act.
