'Public' in the Bible

And in the public places of her towns will be sorrow and weeping; and she will be seated on the earth, waste and uncovered.

In its streets they wear sackcloth;on its rooftops and in its public squares everyone wails,falling down and weeping.

In the town all is waste, and in the public place is destruction.

Who give help to a man in a wrong cause, and who put a net for the feet of him who gives decisions in the public place, taking away a man's right without cause.

Justice is turned back,and righteousness stands far off.For truth has stumbled in the public square,and honesty cannot enter.
