I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines, and in the clefts of the rocks, and on all the thornbushes, and on all the pastures.

In that day every place where there used to be a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels of silver, will become briers and thorns.

With bow and arrows a man will come there, for all the land will be briers and thorns.

And as for all the hills that used to be hoed with a hoe, you will not come there for fear of briers and thorns, but they will become a place where cattle are let loose and where sheep tread.

For wickedness burns like a fire; it consumes briers and thorns; it kindles the thickets of the forest, and they roll upward in a column of smoke.

The light of Israel will become a fire, and his Holy One a flame, and it will burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.

I have no wrath. Would that I had thorns and briers to battle! I would march against them, I would burn them up together.

for the soil of my people growing up in thorns and briers, yes, for all the joyous houses in the exultant city.

And the peoples will be as if burned to lime, like thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.”

Thorns shall grow over its strongholds, nettles and thistles in its fortresses. It shall be the haunt of jackals, an abode for ostriches.

Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall make a name for the Lord, an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
