²⁴ Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    the Mighty One^(A) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
    and avenge^(B) myself on my enemies.^(C)

²⁸ But rebels and sinners^(A) will both be broken,
    and those who forsake^(B) the Lord will perish.^(C)

²⁹ “You will be ashamed^(D) because of the sacred oaks^(E)
    in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens^(F)
    that you have chosen.
³⁰ You will be like an oak with fading leaves,^(G)
    like a garden without water.
³¹ The mighty man will become tinder
    and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
    with no one to quench the fire.^(H)”
