²⁷ “Zion^[a] will be redeemed by justice,
    and her repentant ones^[b] by righteousness.
²⁸ Rebels and sinners will be broken together,
    and those who forsake the Lord will be consumed.
²⁹ They’ll be ashamed of the oak trees
    that you desired;
and you’ll blush because of the gardens
    that you have chosen.
³⁰ You’ll be like an oak
    whose leaf is withering,
        like an unwatered garden.
³¹ Your^[c] strong one^[d] will be like tinder,
    and your work^[e] a spark;
both of them will burn together,
    with no one to quench the flames that burn^[f] them.”
