Isaiah 1:29-30 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.… "For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths in which ye delighted, and ye must blush because of the gardens in which ye had pleasure" (ver. 29). The terebinths and gardens are not referred to as objects of luxury (as Hitzig and Drechsler suppose), but as unlawful places of worship (Deuteronomy 16:21), and objects of worship; both of them are frequently mentioned by the prophets with this meaning (Isaiah 57:5; 65:3; 66:17). (F. Delitzsch.) Parallel Verses KJV: For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen. |
