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.”

29 “You will be ashamed(F) because of the sacred oaks(G)
    in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens(H)
    that you have chosen.
30 You will be like an oak with fading leaves,(I)
    like a garden without water.
31 The mighty man will become tinder
    and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
    with no one to quench the fire.(J)
