Isaiah 1:29-31
Easy-to-Read Version
29 In the future, you will be ashamed of the oak trees and special gardens[a] you chose to worship, 30 because you will be like an oak tree whose leaves are dying. You will be like a garden dying without water. 31 Powerful people will be like small, dry pieces of wood, and what they did will be like the sparks that start a fire. These people and their works will both burn up, and no one will be able to put out that fire.

Isaiah 1:29-31
New International Version
29 “You will be ashamed(A) because of the sacred oaks(B)
in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens(C)
that you have chosen.
30 You will be like an oak with fading leaves,(D)
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.(E)”
