'Hedged' in the Bible
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths darkness He placeth.
Many [enemies like] bulls have surrounded me;Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me.
He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.
Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair;
Reckon it nothing but joy, my brethren, whenever you find yourselves hedged in by various trials.
