Just as a brier or a thorn hedge injures anyone who walks into it, those corrupt Israelites harmed anyone with whom they had dealings.
فَكَمَا يُؤْذِي ٱلْعَوْسَجُ وَسِيَاجُ ٱلشَّوْكِ كُلَّ مَنْ يَتَعَرَّضُ لِوَخْزَتِهِمَا ،‏ آذَى أُولٰئِكَ ٱلْإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ ٱلْفَاسِدُونَ كُلَّ مَنْ تَعَامَلَ مَعَهُمْ .‏
