'Thorn' in the Bible

Like a thorn which falls into the hand of a drunkard,So is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

And there will be no more for the house of Israel a prickling brier or a painful thorn from any round about them who scorned them; then they will know that I am the Lord God.”

Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed;Thorn and thistle will grow on their altars;Then they will say to the mountains,“Cover us!” And to the hills, “Fall on us!”

The best of them is like a briar,The most upright like a thorn hedge.The day when you post your watchmen,Your punishment will come.Then their confusion will occur.
