2 When I shall receive the congregation I will judge uprightly.
3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I bear up the pillars of it. Selah.
The earth and its inhabitants are dissolved.
I (God?) hold up its pillars. [1]
4 I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
5 Lift not up your horn on high: speak not with a stiff neck.
I said to the fools, "Don't be foolish."
And to the wicked,
Don't lift up your horn or speak with a stiff neck.

He'll pour it out and force the wicked to drink it.

Chapter pagesd are split into two columns. On the left is the text of the King James Version of the Bible, and on the right is my summary of the text. There are also links to the footnotes, which can be found below the text and summary columns. The footnotes provide additional information about the material in the text, with external links, YouTube videos, etc.
In the header of every chapter page you'll find a "Bible Books" drop-down menu that displays the books in the Bible, with links to the chapters in each book of the Bible and Apocrypha. This allows you to go to any chapter in the Bible from any chapter page. And there are forward and back arrows at the top and bottom of every chapter page that will take you to the next chapter of the book.
There is also a small scripture book icon on the upper right corner of each chapter page. Clicking that will open a pop-up that provides links to all the chapters in that chapter's book. Clicking on the book icon again will close the pop-up.
Each chapter includes one or more section headings on the left, with category icons on the right. Clicking on these icons displays a list of category items in that section. (I am currently working on this feature, so some of the chapter pages will display the category items for the entire chapter, rather than for the section alone.
Since the print size of the text on chapter pages is rather small on most mobile devices, it may be easier to read when viewing in landscape mode. Of course, you can always pinch to enlarge when necessary.
