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 King James Version
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,
And her [a]penitents with righteousness.
28 The (A)destruction of transgressors and of sinners shall be together,
And those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For [b]they shall be ashamed of the [c]terebinth trees
Which you have desired;
And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens
Which you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades,
And as a garden that has no water.
31 (B)The strong shall be as tinder,
And the work of it as a spark;
Both will burn together,
And no one shall (C)quench them.
