Micah 7:4

The best are [painful] like a thorn bush [that scratches anyone who comes near],
the most righteous (honest) among them are like a thorn hedge [impossible to get through].
The day your guardians await—the day of your punishment—is coming,
when they will be struck with confusion (wandering aimlessly).
