27 Zion will be redeemed by justice,
those who repent, by righteousness.(A)
28 At the same time both rebels and sinners will be broken,
and those who abandon the Lord will perish.
29 Indeed, they[a] will be ashamed of the sacred trees
you desired,(B)
and you will be embarrassed because of the garden shrines
you have chosen.(C)
30 For you will become like an oak
whose leaves are withered,
and like a garden without water.(D)
31 The strong one will become tinder,
and his work a spark;
both will burn together,(E)
with no one to extinguish the flames.(F)

you desired,(B)

you have chosen.(C)
