Isaiah 1:27-29
New Catholic Bible
27 Zion will be redeemed by judgment
and those who are repentant by righteousness.
28 But rebels and sinners alike will be destroyed,
and those who forsake the Lord will perish.
29 You will be ashamed of the sacred oaks[a]
which offered you such delight,
and you will blush when you behold the gardens
which you chose in their stead.
