Isaiah 1:27-31

Common English Bible

²⁷ Zion will be redeemed by justice,
    and those who change their lives by righteousness.
²⁸ But God will shatter rebels and sinners alike;
    those who abandon the Lord will be finished.

²⁹ You will be ashamed of the oaks you once desired,
    and embarrassed by the gardens you once chose.
³⁰ You will be like an oak with withering leaves,
    like a garden without water.
³¹ The strong will be like dry twigs,
        their deeds like sparks;
    the two will burn together,
    with no one to extinguish them.
