Isaiah 1:30

1:30 For you will be like a tree whose leaves wither,

like an orchard that is unwatered.

Isaiah 2:13

2:13 for all the cedars of Lebanon,

that are so high and mighty,

for all the oaks of Bashan;


tn Or “a garden” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).

sn The cedars of Lebanon and oaks of Bashan were well-known for their size and prominence. They make apt symbols here for powerful men who think of themselves as prominent and secure.
