26. "Then I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning; After that you will be called the city of righteousness, A faithful city."
27. Zion will be redeemed with justice And her repentant ones with righteousness.
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.
31. The strong man will become tinder, His work also a spark. Thus they shall both burn together And there will be none to quench them.
