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
New American Standard Bible
27 Zion will be (A)redeemed with justice
And her [a]repentant ones with righteousness.
28 But [b]wrongdoers and sinners together will be (B)broken,
And those who abandon the Lord will come to an end.
29 [c]You certainly will be ashamed of the [d](C)oaks which you have desired,
And you will be embarrassed by the (D)gardens which you have chosen.
30 For you will be like an [e]oak whose (E)leaf withers away,
Or like a garden that has no water.
31 The strong man will become like [f]flax fiber,
And his work a spark.
So they shall both (F)burn together
And there will be (G)no one to extinguish them.
