'Waste' in the Bible

Knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, “Any kingdom that is divided against itself is being laid waste; and no city or house divided against itself will [continue to] stand.

But when the disciples saw it they were indignant and angry, saying, “Why all this waste [of money]?

since it does not enter his heart, but [only] his stomach, and [from there it] is eliminated?” (By this, He declared all foods ceremonially clean.)

But Saul began ravaging the church [and assaulting believers]; entering house after house and dragging off men and women, putting them in prison.
