'Waste' in the Bible

When a great wind came rushing from the waste land against the four sides of the house, and it came down on the young men, and they are dead; and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

The camel-trains go out of their way; they go up into the waste and come to destruction.

He takes away the wisdom of the rulers of the earth, and sends them wandering in a waste where there is no way.

The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;

Like the waste from his body he comes to an end for ever: those who have seen him say, Where is he?

Like asses in the waste land they go out to their work, looking for food with care; from the waste land they get bread for their children.

They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.

They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;

Causing rain to come on a land where no man is living, on the waste land which has no people;

To give water to the land where there is waste and destruction, and to make the dry land green with young grass?

To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place.
