'Ruins' in the Bible

along with kings and counselors of the earth, who used to build for themselves what are now only ruins,

“He has lived in desolate cities,In houses no one would inhabit,Which are destined to become ruins.

They advance as through a gaping breach;they keep rolling in through the ruins.

“Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand,Or in his disaster therefore cry out for help?
