Jeremiah 49:28–33

A Prophecy against Kedar and Hazor

²⁸This is about the tribe of Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated. This is what the Lord says: 

Get ready, attack Kedar, 

and loot the people from the east. 

²⁹Their tents and their flocks will be taken. 

Their tent curtains, utensils, and camels will be carried away. 

People will shout to them, “Terror is all around!” 

³⁰Run far away! Find a place to hide, 

inhabitants of Hazor, declares the Lord. 

King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has made plans against you 

and intends to attack you. 

³¹Get ready! Attack the nation living peacefully and securely, 

declares the Lord. 

It is a nation with no gates or bars. 

Its people live alone. 

³²Their camels will be taken as prizes. 

Their large herds will be taken as loot. 

I will scatter to the winds 

those who shave the hair on their foreheads. 

I will bring disaster on them from every side, 

declares the Lord. 

³³Hazor will be a place where only jackals live. 

It will become a permanent wasteland. 

No one will live there. 

No human will stay there.
