Tree of shame, 2

In an earlier post, I noted the connection between Isaiah 1:29 and Genesis 3: As Adam became ashamed by eating the fruit and being defeated by the serpent, so Judah will become shamed by the oak trees where she worships idols, where she spreads her legs to every passing john.

There’s  another link with Genesis too: The oak trees are trees that are desirable, just like the tree of knowledge (Genesis 3:6).  And they become trees of shame when Yahweh arrives as judge.

Perhaps too there is a link to Genesis 6.  The daughters of men are also desirable (“good”), and the sons of God “choose” them, just as, Isaiah says, they choose the desirable trees and gardens for idolatrous worship.
