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.

Isaiah 1:27-31
Common English Bible
27 Zion will be redeemed by justice,
and those who change their lives by righteousness.
28 But God will shatter rebels and sinners alike;
those who abandon the Lord will be finished.
29 You will be ashamed of the oaks you once desired,
and embarrassed by the gardens you once chose.
30 You will be like an oak with withering leaves,
like a garden without water.
31 The strong will be like dry twigs,
their deeds like sparks;
the two will burn together,
with no one to extinguish them.
