“Both thorns ^H6975 and thistles ^H1863 it shall grow ^H6779 for you;

Yet you shall eat ^H398 the [fn]plants ^H6212 of the field ^H7704;

“If ^H3588 a fire ^H784 breaks ^H3318 out ^H3318 and spreads ^H4672 to ^H4672 thorn ^H6975 bushes ^H6975, and stacked ^H1430 grain or ^H176 the standing ^H7054 grain ^H7054 or ^H176 the field ^H7704 itself is consumed ^H398, the one who started ^H1197 the fire ^H1200 must ^H7999 make ^H7999 restitution ^H7999.

“But the worthless ^H1100, every ^H3605 one ^H3605 of them, are like scattered ^H5074 thorns ^H6975,

Because ^H3588 they cannot ^H3808 be taken ^H3947 in hand ^H3027;

For day ^H3119 and night ^H3915 Your hand ^H3027 was ^H3513 heavy ^H3513 upon me;

My [fn]vitality ^H3955 failed ^H2015 as with the dry ^H2725 heat ^H2725 of summer ^H7019. Selah ^H5542

Before ^H2962 your pots ^H5518 can feel ^H995 the fire of thorns ^H329

He will sweep ^H8175 them away ^H8175 with ^H8175 a ^H8175 whirlwind ^H8175, the [fn]green ^H2416 and the burning ^H2740 alike ^H3644.

They surrounded ^H5437 me like bees ^H1682;

They were extinguished ^H1846 like a fire ^H784 of thorn ^H6975 bushes ^H6975;

In the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068 I will certainly ^H3588 fend ^H4135 them off ^H4135.

The way ^H1870 of the [fn]lazy ^H6102 one ^H6102 is like a hedge ^H4881 of thorns ^H2312,

But the path ^H734 of the upright ^H3477 is a highway ^H5549.

Like a thorn ^H2336 that [fn]sticks ^H5927 in the hand ^H3027 of a heavy ^H7910 drinker ^H7910,

So is a proverb ^H4912 in the mouths ^H6310 of fools ^H3684.

For as the [fn]crackling ^H6963 of thorn ^H5518 bushes ^H5518 under ^H8478 a pot ^H5518,

So ^H3651 is the laughter ^H7814 of the fool ^H3684;

And this ^H2088 too ^H1571 is futility ^H1892.

The Groom

“Like a lily ^H7799 among ^H996 the thorns ^H2336,

So ^H3651 is my darling ^H7474 among ^H996 the [fn]young ^H1323 women ^H1323.”

He dug ^H5823 it all ^H5823 around ^H5823, cleared ^H5619 it of ^H5619 stones ^H5619,

And planted ^H5193 it with [fn]the choicest ^H8321 vine ^H8321.

And He built ^H1129 a tower ^H4026 in the middle ^H8432 of it,

And also ^H1571 carved ^H2672 out ^H2672 a [fn]wine ^H3342 vat ^H3342 in it;

Then He expected ^H6960 it to produce ^H6213 good grapes ^H6025,

But it produced ^H6213 only [fn]worthless ^H891 ones ^H891.

“What ^H4100 more ^H5750 was there to do ^H6213 for My vineyard ^H3754 [fn]that I have not done ^H6213 in it?

Why ^H4069, when I expected ^H6960 it to produce ^H6213 good grapes ^H6025 did it produce ^H6213 [fn]worthless ^H891 ones ^H891?

“I will lay ^H7896 it waste ^H1326;

It will not be pruned ^H2168 nor hoed ^H5737,

But briars ^H8068 and thorns ^H7898 will come ^H5927 up ^H5927.

I will also command ^H6680 the clouds ^H5645 not to rain ^H4305 H4306 on it.”

And it will come ^H1961 about ^H1961 on that day ^H3117, that every ^H3605 place ^H4725 where ^H834 H8033 there used to be a thousand ^H505 vines ^H1612, valued at a thousand ^H505 shekels of silver ^H3701, will become ^H1961 briars ^H8068 and thorns ^H7898.

For the land ^H127 of my people ^H5971 in which thorns ^H6975 and briars ^H8068 will come ^H5927 up ^H5927;

Indeed ^H3588, for all ^H3605 the joyful ^H4885 houses ^H1004 and for the jubilant ^H5947 city ^H7151.

“The peoples ^H5971 will be burned ^H4955 to lime ^H7875,

Like cut ^H3683 thorns ^H6975 which are burned ^H3341 in the fire ^H784.

For this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559 to the men ^H376 of Judah ^H3063 and to Jerusalem ^H3389:

“[fn]Break ^H5214 up your uncultivated ^H5215 ground ^H5215,

And do not sow ^H2232 among ^H413 thorns ^H6975.

“They have sown ^H2232 wheat ^H2406 but have harvested ^H7114 thorns ^H6975,

They have strained ^H2470 themselves [fn]to no ^H3808 profit ^H3276.

So be ^H954 ashamed ^H954 of your produce ^H8393

Because ^H4480 of the fierce ^H2740 anger ^H639 of the LORD ^H3068.”

“And there will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be for the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478 a painful ^H3992 thorn ^H5544 or a hurtful ^H3510 thorn ^H6975 bush ^H6975 from any ^H3605 surrounding ^H5439 them who despised ^H7751 them; then they will know ^H3045 that I am the Lord ^H136 GOD ^H3068.”

For behold ^H2009, they will be gone ^H1980 because ^H4480 of destruction ^H7701;

Egypt ^H4714 will gather ^H6908 them together ^H6908, Memphis ^H4644 will bury ^H6912 them.

Weeds ^H7057 will take ^H3423 possession ^H3423 of their treasures ^H4261 of silver ^H3701;

Thorns ^H2336 will be in their tents ^H168.

Also the high ^H1116 places ^H1116 of Aven ^H206, the sin ^H2398 of Israel ^H3478, will be destroyed ^H8045;

Thorns ^H6975 and thistles ^H1863 will grow ^H5927 on their altars ^H4196;

Then they will say ^H559 to the mountains ^H2022,

“Cover ^H3680 us!” And to the hills ^H1389, “Fall ^H5307 on us!”
