Jeremiah 49:28–33

Prophecies against Kedar and Hazor

²⁸About Kedar ^yand the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar, ^zBabylon’s king, defeated, this is what the Lord says:

Rise up, go against 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! ^a

³⁰Run! Escape quickly! Lie low,

residents of Hazor—

this is the Lord’s declaration—

for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon

has drawn up a plan against you;

he has devised a strategy against you.

³¹Rise up, go up against 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. ^b

³²Their camels will become plunder,

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

I will scatter them to the wind in every direction,

those who shave their temples;

I will bring calamity on them across all their borders.

This is the Lord’s declaration.

³³Hazor will become a jackals’ den, ^d

a desolation forever.

No one will live there;

no human being will even stay in it as a temporary resident. ^e
