Purification Of Jerusalem
29
For you will be ashamed [of the degradation] of the oaks in which you took [idolatrous] pleasure,
And you will be ashamed of the gardens [of passion] which you have chosen [for pagan worship].

And like a garden that has no water.

And his work a spark.
So both will burn together
And there will be none to quench them.
