Isaiah 1:29-31

International Standard Version

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^[a] strong one^[b] will be like tinder,
    and your work^[c] a spark;
both of them will burn together,
    with no one to quench the flames that burn^[d] them.”
