This paper discusses Paul's thorns in the flesh. All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.

2 Corinthians 12:7 "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure."

Numbers 33:55 "But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them <shall be> pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell."

Judges 2:3 "Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be <as thorns> in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you."

Joshua 23:13 "Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out <any of> these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you."
