'Ground' in the Bible

For this is what the Lord says to the men of Judah and Jerusalem:Break up the unplowed ground;do not sow among the thorns.

Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: “Look, My anger—My burning wrath—is about to be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the tree of the field, and on the produce of the land. My wrath will burn and not be quenched.”

Gather up your belongings from the ground,you who live under siege.

Judah mourns;her gates languish.Her people are on the ground in mourning;Jerusalem’s cry rises up.

The ground is crackedsince no rain has fallen on the land.The farmers are ashamed;they cover their heads.

Those slain by the Lord on that day will be spread from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like manure on the surface of the ground.

Come down from glory; sit on parched ground,resident of the daughter of Dibon,for the destroyer of Moab has come against you;he has destroyed your fortresses.
