26 I will give you judges like you had long ago,advisers like you had in the beginning.After that you will be called the Righteous City,the Faithful Town.”
27 Zion will be pardoned by ⌊the Lord’s⌋ justice,and those who return will be pardonedby ⌊the Lord’s⌋ righteousness.
28 Rebels and sinners will be crushed at the same time,and those who abandon the Lord will come to an end.
29 You will be ashamed of the oaks that you wanted to worshipand embarrassed by the garden that you have chosen for your gods.
30 You will be like an oak whose leaves witherand like a garden without water.
31 Strong people will become tinder for a fire,and their work will be the spark.Both of them will burn together,and there will be no one to put out the fire.
