'Earth' in the Bible

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.

For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;

This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.

Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.

But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged.

Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months.

And he made another prayer, and the heaven sent down rain and the earth gave her fruit.
