'Thorns and Thistles' in the Bible
and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
Israel’s Light will become a fire,and its Holy One, a flame.In one day it will burn up Assyria’s thorns and thistles.
My people's field shall bring thorns and thistles, for in every house is voluptuousness; and in the cities, willfulness.
But thou son of man Be not afraid of them Nor of their words, be afraid Though thorns and thistles are about thee, And amongst prickly plants, thou dost dwell, Of their words, be not afraid nor At their faces, be thou dismayed, For a perverse house, they are!
The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel,will be destroyed;thorns and thistles will grow over their altars.They will say to the mountains, “Cover us!”and to the hills, “Fall on us!”
