“Which Shall Be for Briers and Thorns”

K. Douglas Bassett

(Isa. 7:24–25; refer in this text to 2 Ne. 15:6)

This whole territory would be used by hunters, who would come among the briars and bushes with bows and arrows to seek game.
The luxurious, terraced hills, which were so carefully cultivated and weeded to keep out thorns and briars, would no longer be used for the vine or the tree. These hills would all be occupied by oxen, sheep, and goats.
