Isaiah 1:29

Purification Of Jerusalem

²⁸ But both rebels and sinners will be destroyed,
and those who abandon the Lord will perish.
²⁹ Indeed, they will be ashamed of the sacred trees
you desired,
and you will be embarrassed because of the gardens
you have chosen.
³⁰ For you will become like an oak
whose leaves are withered,
and like a garden without water.
