Isaiah 1:27-31
Holman Christian Standard Bible
27 Zion will be redeemed by justice,
her repentant ones by righteousness.(A)
28 But both rebels and sinners will be destroyed,
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 gardens
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 quench the flames.(F)

International Standard Version
27 “Zion[a] will be redeemed by justice,
and her repentant ones[b] by righteousness.
28 Rebels and sinners will be broken together,
and those who forsake the Lord will be consumed.
29 They’ll be ashamed of the oak trees
that you desired;
and you’ll blush because of the gardens
that you have chosen.
30 You’ll be like an oak
whose leaf is withering,
like an unwatered garden.
31 Your[c] strong one[d] will be like tinder,
and your work[e] a spark;
both of them will burn together,
with no one to quench the flames that burn[f] them.”
