Hooks anywhere would be painful. Even a fishing hook just in the finger hurts. I was startled by this passage in Joshua when preaching through the book some time ago. A very desceiptive reminder of the pain sin, especially disobedience, can bring to our life when gone unchecked. The picture really paints a thousand words.
Joshua 23:11-13 AMP
Be very watchful of yourselves, therefore, to love the Lord your God. For if you turn back and adhere to the remnant of these nations left among you and make marriages with them, you marrying their women and they yours, Know with certainty that the Lord your God will not continue to drive these nations from before you; but they shall be a snare and trap to you, and a scourge in your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which the Lord your God has given you.
