Isaiah 1:30 meaning and explanation

For you will become like an oak whose leaves are withered, like a garden without water.

Isaiah 1:30, Berean Standard Bible

Isaiah speaks to Judah and Jerusalem in the opening vision of his book, and verse 30 closes a warning to those who have forsaken the LORD for the sacred oaks and gardens of verse 29, likely settings for pagan worship. The image is promised vitality turned to ruin: an oak with withered leaves and a garden without water cannot flourish.
