New Living Translation

Isaiah 1:27-31 New Living Translation (NLT)

27. Zion will be restored by justice;those who repent will be revived by righteousness.

28. But rebels and sinners will be completely destroyed,and those who desert the lord will be consumed.

29. You will be ashamed of your idol worshipin groves of sacred oaks.You will blush because you worshipedin gardens dedicated to idols.

30. You will be like a great tree with withered leaves,like a garden without water.

31. The strongest among you will disappear like straw;their evil deeds will be the spark that sets it on fire.They and their evil works will burn up together,and no one will be able to put out the fire.
