Context of Isaiah 1:28

26Then I will again give you honest judges, as you had a long time ago. I will also give you wise officers, as you had before. After that, you will be called “The Righteous City” and “The Faithful City”.’ 27God will use justice to make Zion free. He will do what is right for those who return to serve him. But he will destroy people who turn against him, and those who continue to do wrong things. People who no longer trust the Lord will live no more. 29You will become ashamed because you trusted special oak trees to help you. You worshipped idols in your special gardens, and you will be ashamed because of that. 30You will be like an oak tree with leaves that have become dry. You will be like a garden that has no water.
