brier <ISA55 -13> Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir

tree, and instead of the {brier} shall come up the myrtle tree:

and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign

[that] shall not be cut off.

brier <EZE28 -24> And there shall be no more a pricking {brier}

unto the house of Israel, nor [any] grieving thorn of all [that

are] round about them, that despised them; and they shall know

that I [am] the Lord GOD.

brier <MIC7 -4> The best of them [is] as a {brier}: the most

upright [is sharper] than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen

[and] thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity.
