| Here we have few or no briers or thorned things, save and except an odd blackberry or raspberry bush. |
| The thorns and briers that obstructed our steps feed a fire that sheds light on the way. |
| Be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions. |
| Examples of briers in scripture are Job's comforters and Peter. |
| He did not use care to avoid trees and branches, and his forgotten feet were constantly knocking against stones or getting entangled in briers. |
| A few tufts of elder, with here and there a patch of briers and pokeweed, flourished in the gravelly soil. |
