“Your dalliances in those oak grove shrines

will leave you looking mighty foolish,

All that fooling around in god and goddess gardens

that you thought was the latest thing.

You’ll end up like an oak tree

with all its leaves falling off,

Like an unwatered garden,

withered and brown.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks

that you desired;

and you shall blush for the gardens

that you have chosen.

whose leaf withers,

and like a garden without water.

in which you have delighted;

and you will be embarrassed because of the garden shrines

you have chosen.

and like a garden where there is no water for her.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired,

And ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.

And as a garden that hath no water.
