Isaiah 1:28
26 I will restore your judges as at first, and your counselors as at the beginning. After that you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City.”
27 Zion will be redeemed with justice, her repentant ones with righteousness.
But rebels and sinners will together be shattered, and those who forsake the LORD will perish.
29 Surely you will be ashamed of the sacred oaks in which you have delighted; you will be embarrassed by the gardens that you have chosen.
30 For you will become like an oak whose leaves are withered, like a garden without water.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
