29 [a]You certainly will be ashamed of the [b](A)oaks which you have desired,
And you will be embarrassed by the (B)gardens which you have chosen.
30 For you will be like an [c]oak whose (C)leaf withers away,
Or like a garden that has no water.
31 The strong man will become like [d]flax fiber,
And his work a spark.
So they shall both (D)burn together
And there will be (E)no one to extinguish them.
