Genesis 3:18

²³It will happen in that day that every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels,^[+] will be for briers and thorns.

⁷Others fell among thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.

⁵whose harvest the hungry eat up, and take it even out of the thorns. The snare gapes for their substance.

³For the LORD says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, “Break up your fallow ground, and don’t sow among thorns.

¹⁴He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth: ¹⁵wine that makes the heart of man glad, oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man’s heart.

⁴⁰let briers grow instead of wheat, and stinkweed instead of barley.” The words of Job are ended.

⁶I will lay it a wasteland. It won’t be pruned or hoed, but it will grow briers and thorns. I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain on it.”

⁸but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

¹³know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you.

¹³Thorns and briers will come up on my people’s land; yes, on all the houses of joy in the joyous city.
