29 For you shall be ashamed of the oaks
    in which you delighted;
and you shall blush for the gardens
    that you have chosen.
30 For you shall be like an oak
    whose leaf withers,
    and like a garden without water.
31 The strong shall become like tinder,
    and their work[a] like a spark;
they and their work shall burn together,
    with no one to quench them.

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)

31 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them.
