'Places' in the Bible

For see, the Lord is coming out from his place, and will come down, stepping on the high places of the earth.

All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:

They will take dust as their food like a snake, like the things which go flat on the earth; they will come shaking with fear out of their secret places: they will come with fear to the Lord our God, full of fear because of you.
