Fence » Hedge
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country:
Your princes are like the locusts, and your officials like the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges on the cold day, but when the sun arises they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
And now; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down:
He that digs a pit shall fall into it; and whosoever breaks through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.
The way of the slothful man is as a hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made a highway.
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and make a wall, so that she shall not find her paths.

And he dug it, and gathered out its stones, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress in it: and he expected that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
But the angel of the LORD stood in a path of the vineyards, a wall being on one side, and a wall on the other side.
How long will you imagine evil against a man? you shall be slain all of you: as a leaning wall shall you be, and as a tottering fence.
I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and weeds had covered its face, and its stone wall was broken down.
In the day that your walls are to be built, in that day shall your boundaries be far extended.
