Micah 6-7

One of the perpetual reminders of the curse are the thorns. As a plant they serve no purpose for food, though some produce edible berries. The whole message that thorns project is almost anything except "welcome." God saw the actions of many people in Israel in the same way that I look at throns; they were not welcoming to him. Their rejection of his Law would result in a repeat of his initial curse pronouncement.
It took me about 9 minutes to read this passage.
