'Places' in the Bible

“When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’

And He began speaking a parable to the invited guests when He noticed how they had been picking out the places of honor at the table, saying to them,

“Beware of the scribes, who like to walk around in long robes, and love respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,

and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
