'Briars' in the Bible

Let briars grow instead of wheat,And stinkweed instead of barley.”The words of Job are ended.

“I will lay it waste;It will not be pruned or hoed,But briars and thorns will come up.I will also charge the clouds to rain no rain on it.”

And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns.

People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns.

As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.

For wickedness burns like a fire;It consumes briars and thorns;It even sets the thickets of the forest aflameAnd they roll upward in a column of smoke.

And the light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame,And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day.

“I have no wrath.Should someone give Me briars and thorns in battle,Then I would step on them, I would burn them completely.

For the land of my people in which thorns and briars shall come up;Yea, for all the joyful houses and for the jubilant city.
