'World' in the Bible

Thus I will punish the world for its evilAnd the wicked for their iniquity;I will also put an end to the arrogance of the proudAnd abase the haughtiness of the ruthless.

Who made the world like a wildernessAnd overthrew its cities,Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?’

“Prepare for his sons a place of slaughterBecause of the iniquity of their fathers.They must not arise and take possession of the earthAnd fill the face of the world with cities.”

All you inhabitants of the world and dwellers on earth,As soon as a standard is raised on the mountains, you will see it,And as soon as the trumpet is blown, you will hear it.

The earth mourns and withers, the world fades and withers, the exalted of the people of the earth fade away.

At night my soul longs for You,Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;For when the earth experiences Your judgmentsThe inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,We gave birth, as it seems, only to wind.We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,Nor were inhabitants of the world born.

In the days to come Jacob will take root,Israel will blossom and sprout,And they will fill the whole world with fruit.

Draw near, O nations, to hear; and listen, O peoples!Let the earth and all it contains hear, and the world and all that springs from it.

I said, “I will not see the Lord,The Lord in the land of the living;I will look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.
