Hebrews 6:8
But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

Study Note
The image of land bearing thorns and briers being 'rejected' and 'nigh unto cursing, whose end is to be burned' forms the dark counterpart to the productive land of verse 7. The agricultural metaphor draws on Isaiah 5:6 (God's vineyard given over to briers and thorns) and Genesis 3:17-18 (the cursed ground producing thorns) to depict apostasy as a return to the pre-redemptive cursed order. The warning is not that the apostate cannot be forgiven but that a persistent pattern of receiving divine gifts and producing only wickedness has a catastrophic trajectory — the burning in view is probably eschatological judgment. The olive tree metaphor in Romans 11:17-24 uses the same agricultural logic of fruitfulness versus unfruitfulness to explore the same warning-and-hope dynamic.
