Isaiah 1:29-31
1599 Geneva Bible
29 For they shall be confounded for the [a]oaks, which ye have desired, and ye shall be ashamed of the gardens that ye have chosen,
30 For ye shall be as an oak, whose leaf fadeth: and as a garden that hath no water.
31 And the strong shall be as [b]tow, and the maker thereof as a spark: and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.

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)”
