thorns {Thorns} also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; thorns If fire break out, and catch in {thorns}, so that the stacks of corn, or the standing corn, or the field, be consumed [therewith]; he that kindled the fire shall surely make restitution. thorns But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them [shall be] pricks in your eyes, and {thorns} in your sides, and shall vex you in the land where in ye dwell. thorns Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out [any of] these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and {thorns} in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. thorns Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as {thorns}] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you. thorns And Gideon said, Therefore when the LORD hath delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then I will tear your flesh with the {thorns} of the wilderness and with briers. thorns And he took the elders of the city, and {thorns} of the wilderness and briers, and with them he taught the men of Succoth. thorns <2SA23 -6> But [the sons] of Belial [shall be] all of them as {thorns} thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands: thorns <2CH33 -11> Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, which took Manasseh among the {thorns}, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon. thorns Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the {thorns}, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. thorns Before your pots can feel the {thorns}, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath. thorns They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of {thorns}: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. thorns The way of the slothful [man is] as an hedge of {thorns}: but the way of the righteous [is] made plain. thorns {Thorns} [and] snares [are] in the way of the froward: he that doth keep his soul shall be far from them. thorns And, lo, it was all grown over with {thorns}, [and] nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. thorns For as the crackling of {thorns} under a pot, so [is] the laughter of the fool: this also [is] vanity. thorns As the lily among {thorns}, so [is] my love among the daughters. thorns And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and {thorns}: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. thorns And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all {thorns}, and upon all bushes. thorns And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall [even] be for briers and {thorns}. thorns With arrows and with bows shall [men] come thither; because all the land shall become briers and {thorns}. thorns And [on] all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and {thorns}: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle. thorns For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers and {thorns}, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up [like] the lifting up of smoke. thorns And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his {thorns} and his briers in one day; thorns Fury [is] not in me: who would set the briers [and] {thorns} against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. thorns Upon the land of my people shall come up {thorns} [and] briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy [in] the joyous city: thorns And the people shall be [as] the burnings of lime: [as] {thorns} cut up shall they be burned in the fire. thorns And {thorns} shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, [and] a court for owls. thorns For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among {thorns}. thorns They have sown wheat, but shall reap {thorns}: they have put themselves to pain, [but] shall not profit: and they shall be ashamed of your revenues because of the fierce anger of the LORD. thorns And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and {thorns} [be] with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they [be] a rebellious house. thorns Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with {thorns}, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. thorns For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their silver, nettles shall possess them: {thorns} [shall be] in their tabernacles. thorns For while [they be] folden together [as] {thorns}, and while they are drunken [as] drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry. thorns Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of {thorns}, or figs of thistles? thorns And some fell among {thorns}; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: thorns And some fell among thorns; and the {thorns} sprung up, and choked them: thorns He also that received seed among the {thorns} is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. thorns And when they had platted a crown of {thorns}, they put [it] upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! thorns And some fell among thorns, and the {thorns} grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. thorns And some fell among {thorns}, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. thorns And these are they which are sown among {thorns}; such as hear the word, thorns And they clothed him with purple, and platted a crown of {thorns}, and put it about his head], thorns For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of {thorns} men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. thorns And some fell among thorns; and the {thorns} sprang up with it, and choked it. thorns And some fell among {thorns}; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. thorns And that which fell among {thorns} are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this] life, and bring no fruit to perfection. thorns And the soldiers platted a crown of {thorns}, and put it] on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, thorns Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of {thorns}, and the purple robe. And Pilate] saith unto them, Behold the man! thorns But that which beareth {thorns} and briers is] rejected, and is] nigh unto cursing; whose end is] to be burned. ~~~~~~
