Isaiah 1:27-31
World English Bible
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
and her converts with righteousness.
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together,
and those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired,
and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades,
and as a garden that has no water.
31 The strong will be like tinder,
and his work like a spark.
They will both burn together,
and no one will quench them.”
Isaiah 1:27-31
Christian Standard Bible
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)
