~ briers and thorns ~ 23_ISA_05_06  And I will lay it waste, it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns, I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. #, 23_ISA_07_23  And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall [even] be for briers and thorns. #, 23_ISA_07_24  With arrows and with bows shall [men] come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns. #, 23_ISA_07_25  And [on] all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns, but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle. #, 23_ISA_09_18  For wickedness burneth as the fire, it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up [like] the lifting up of smoke. #, 23_ISA_27_04  Fury [is] not in me, who would set the briers [and] thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. #, 26_EZE_02_06  And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions, be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house. #,
