For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

Commentary on Isaiah 1:30

Theological / Devotional

An oak. Like the objects of nature that they worshiped, the people also would perish.

That hath no water. Without water no garden can prosper. With the Lord is the fountain of life (Ps. 36:9), and those who forsake Him forsake the fountain of living waters (Jer. 2:13). As a garden without water becomes an arid waste, so, without God, Israel would degenerate into a desolate field. By forsaking the Lord, the Source of life, Israel sealed its own doom.
