Isaiah 1:27-31
Legacy Standard Bible
27 Zion will be (A)redeemed with justice
And her [a]repentant ones with righteousness.
28 But [b]transgressors and sinners will be (B)broken together,
And those who forsake Yahweh will come to an end.
29 For [c]you will be ashamed of the [d](C)oaks which you have desired,
And you will be humiliated because of the (D)gardens which you have chosen.
30 For you will be like [e]an oak whose (E)leaf withers away
Or as a garden that has no water.
31 And the strong man will become tinder,
His work also a spark.
Thus they shall both (F)burn together,
And there will be (G)none to quench them.

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.
