Bible in Basic English
But a common destruction will overtake sinners and evil-doers together, and those who have gone away from the Lord will be cut off.
For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.
For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.
And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.
— Isaiah 1:28-1964, Bible in Basic English

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water. And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench them. ”

“All rebellious sinners will be shattered, those who abandon the LORD will perish. Indeed, they will be ashamed of the sacred trees you find so desirable; you will be embarrassed because of the sacred orchards where you choose to worship.

The powerful will be like a thread of yarn, their deeds like a spark; both will burn together, and no one will put out the fire.”
