'Wilderness' in the Bible

“He removes intelligence and understanding from the leaders of the people of the earthAnd makes them wander and move blindly in a pathless waste.

“When he fills his belly,God will send His fierce anger on himAnd will rain it upon him while he is eating.

“Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert,The poor go to their work, diligently seeking food;As bread for their children in the desert.

“They are gaunt with want and famine;They gnaw the dry and barren ground by night in [the gloom of] waste and desolation.

To whom I gave the wilderness as his homeAnd the salt land as his dwelling place?
