I was reading this recently:
6 Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns,
and I will build a wall against her,
so that she cannot find her paths. Hosea 2:6 (ESV)
I was thinking about the hedge.
A hedge is also mentioned in Job when Satan is talking to God :
10 Have you not put a hedge around him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 11 But stretch out your hand and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.” Job 1:10-11 (ESV)
I just found it interesting that in Hosea, the hedge is used to block the path of Israel, but in Job, the hedge is a barrier that has been protecting Job from the attacks of the evil one. Boundaries!
