27. Because the Lord does what is fair,he will rescue Jerusalem.Because the Lord does what is right,he will save her people who come back to him.
28. But sinners and those who turn against him will be destroyed.Those who have left the Lord will die.
29. “You will be ashamedbecause you have worshiped false gods under the oak trees.You will be disgracedbecause you have worshiped idols in your gardens.
30. You will be like an oak whose leaves are dying.You will be like a garden without water.
31. Powerful people will be like small, dry pieces of wood.And what they do will be like sparks.The people and what they do will burn together.And no one will be able to stop that fire.”
