Isaiah

Isaiah 7:23–25

²³And on that day, in every place that had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels of silver,^h only briers and thorns will be found. ²⁴Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns. ²⁵For fear of the briers and thorns, you will no longer traverse the hills once tilled by the hoe; they will become places for oxen to graze and sheep to trample.
