This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
no more ... brier ... unto ... Israel - as the idolatrous nations left in Canaan (among which Zidon is expressly specified in the limits of Asher, Jdg 1:31) had been (Num 33:55; Jos 23:13). “A brier,” first ensnaring the Israelites in sin, and then being made the instrument of punishing them.
pricking - literally, “causing bitterness.” The same Hebrew is translated “fretting” (Lev 13:51, Lev 13:52). The wicked are often called “thorns” (2Sa 23:6).
