Isaiah 1:30

30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, And as a garden that has no 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 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together, And those who forsake Yahweh shall be consumed.

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, And you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.

30 For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades, And as a garden that has no water.

31 The strong will be like tinder, And his work like a spark. They will both burn together, And no one will quench them."
