Isaiah 1:29

Purification Of Jerusalem

²⁸ But transgressors and sinners will be crushed together,
And those who forsake the Lord will come to an end.
²⁹ Surely you will be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired,
And you will be embarrassed at the gardens which you have chosen.
³⁰ For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades away
Or as a garden that has no water.
