Isaiah 1:30

30 for you will be like an oak whose leaf fades, like a garden without any water.

Isaiah 1:30 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 1:30

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth
Shall be stripped of all their dependencies and self confidence, and be as naked and as bare as an oak that has cast its leaves; or thus, in a way of just retaliation, since they have desired oaks, and sacrificed under them, they shall be like them as in the wintertime, stripped of all their riches, honour, substance, and desirable things; see ( Revelation 18:12-19 ) and as a garden that hath no water;
in which the herbs and plants are dried up and withered: it signifies the uncomfortable condition such shall be in, as before.

Isaiah 1:30 In-Context

28 "Rebels and sinners together will be broken and those who abandon ADONAI be consumed.
29 You will be ashamed of the sacred oaks you desired, you will blush at the gardens you chose;
30 for you will be like an oak whose leaf fades, like a garden without any water.
31 The strong will be like tinder and [the idol's] maker like a spark; both will burn together, and no one will put them out."
