Isaiah 7:25

Judgment

23 And on that day, in every place that had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels of silver, only briers and thorns will be found.

24 Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.

For fear of the briers and thorns, you will no longer traverse the hills once tilled by the hoe; they will become places for oxen to graze and sheep to trample.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
