Psalms 118:12

12 ^aThey surrounded me like bees;
they went out like ^ba fire among thorns;
in the name of the Lord I cut them off!

Ecclesiastes 7:6

6 ^cFor as the crackling of ^dthorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of the fools;
this also is vanity. ^{▼▼The Hebrew term hebel can refer to a “vapor” or “mere breath” (see note on 1:2)}
