'Hedge' in the Bible
Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
The way of the sluggard is as a hedge of thorns; But the path of the upright is made a highway.
And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she shall not find her paths.
The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.
