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)

29 For [a]they shall be ashamed of the [b]terebinth trees
Which you have desired;
And you shall be embarrassed because of the gardens
Which you have chosen.
30 For you shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fades,
And as a garden that has no water.
31 (A)The strong shall be as tinder,
And the work of it as a spark;
Both will burn together,
And no one shall (B)quench them.
