Context of Isaiah 1:28

26Then I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning; Afterward you will be called the city of righteousness, The faithful city.” 27Zion will be redeemed with justice And her repentant ones with righteousness. But rebels and sinners will be crushed and destroyed together, And those who abandon (turn away from) the Lord will be consumed (perish). 29For 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]. 30For you will be like an oak whose leaf withers and dies And like a garden that has no water.
