'Places' in the Bible

The Lord has swallowed up; He has not sparedAll the country places of Jacob.In His wrath He has thrown downThe strongholds of the Daughter of Judah (Jerusalem).He has brought them down to the ground [in disgrace];He has debased the kingdom and its princes.

He has made me live in dark placesLike those who have long been dead.

He is to me like a bear lying in wait,And like a lion [hiding] in secret places.
