Jeremiah 49:28–33

PROPHECIES AGAINST KEDAR AND HAZOR

²⁸About Kedar^u and the kingdoms of Hazor, which King Nebuchadnezzar^v of Babylon defeated, this is what the Lord says:

Rise up, attack Kedar,

and destroy the people of the east!

²⁹They will take their tents and their flocks

along with their tent curtains and all their equipment.

They will take their camels for themselves.

They will call out to them,

“Terror is on every side!”^w

³⁰Run! Escape quickly! Lie low,

residents of Hazor—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

for King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon

has drawn up a plan against you;

he has devised a strategy against you.

³¹Rise up, attack a nation at ease,

one living in security.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

They have no doors, not even a gate bar;

they live alone.^x

³²Their camels will become plunder,

and their massive herds of cattle will become spoil.^y

I will scatter them to the wind in every direction,

those who clip the hair on their temples;

I will bring calamity on them across all their borders.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

³³Hazor will become a jackals’ den,^z

a desolation forever.

No one will live there;

no human being will stay in it even temporarily.^aa
