27 Because the Lord is righteous, he will save Jerusalem and everyone there who repents.
28 But he will crush everyone who sins and rebels against him; he will kill everyone who forsakes him.
29 You will be sorry that you ever worshipped trees and planted sacred gardens.
30 You will wither like a dying oak, like a garden that no one waters.
31 Just as straw is set on fire by a spark, so powerful people will be destroyed by their own evil deeds, and no one will be able to stop the destruction.
