Isaiah 1:27-31
New International Version
27 Zion will be delivered with justice,
her penitent(A) ones with righteousness.(B)
28 But rebels and sinners(C) will both be broken,
and those who forsake(D) the Lord will perish.(E)
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)”
Isaiah 1:27-31
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.”
