Isaiah 7:23-25

23 In that day every place where there used to be a thousand vines, worth a thousand shekels ^{▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams} of silver, will become ^bbriers and thorns. 24 ^cWith bow and arrows a man will come there, for all the land will be briers and thorns. 25 ^dAnd as for all the hills that used to be hoed with a hoe, you will not come there for fear ^eof briers and thorns, but they will become a place where cattle are let loose and where sheep tread.
