'Used' in the Bible

And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns.

As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.

Which used to strike the peoples in fury with unceasing strokes,Which subdued the nations in anger with unrestrained persecution.

Is this your jubilant city,Whose origin is from antiquity,Whose feet used to carry her to colonize distant places?
