Context of Isaiah 1:27
25Then I will turn My hand on you, purge away your dross, and remove all your alloy. 26I will restore your judges as at first, your counselors as at the start. Afterward you will be called City of Righteousness, Faithful City. Zion will be redeemed with justice, her repentant with righteousness.” 28But there will be a crushing of transgressors and sinners together. Forsaking Adonai, they will be consumed. 29For they will be ashamed of the sacred oaks that you desired, and embarrassed because of the gardens that you have chosen.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 27With judgment "In judgment" - By the exercise of God's strict justice in destroying the obdurate, (see Isaiah 1:28;), and delivering the penitent in righteousness; by the truth and faithfulness of God in performing his promises."Read the comment

Only those who repent (turn away from sin) would receive God’s salvation and cleansing. They would live in his presence. Zion was meant to be a strong place of justice and righteousness.
