Isaiah 1:29

Purification Of Jerusalem

²⁸ All rebellious sinners will be shattered, those who abandon the Lord will perish. ²⁹ Indeed, they will be ashamed of the sacred trees you find so desirable; you will be embarrassed because of the sacred orchards where you choose to worship. ³⁰ For you will be like a tree whose leaves wither, like an orchard that is unwatered.
