Isaiah 1:26-31 ▼

26 Then I will have your judges return as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning; Afterwards you will be called the city of righteousness, A faithful town.”

27 Zion will be redeemed with justice And her repentant ones with righteousness.

28 But transgressors and sinners will be broken together, And those who forsake Yahweh will come to an end.

29 For you will be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, And you will be humiliated because of the gardens which you have chosen.

30 For you will be like an oak whose leaf withers away Or as a garden that has no water.

31 And the strong man will become tinder, His work also a spark. Thus they shall both burn together, And there will be none to quench them.
