Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and make a wall, so that she shall not find her paths.

And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
