Jeremiah 49:28–39

28  *zConcerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the Lord;

aArise ye, go up to zKedar,

And spoil bthe men of the east.

29  cdeTheir tents and their flocks shall they take away:

They shall take to themselves detheir curtains,

And all their vessels, and ftheir camels;

And they shall cry unto them, gFear is on every side.

30  hFlee, †get you far off, hdwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor,

Saith the Lord;

For Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you,

And hath conceived a purpose against you.

31  aArise, get you up unto the ||wealthy nation,

iThat dwelleth without care, saith the Lord,

jWhich have neither gates nor bars, kwhich dwell alone.

32  And their camels shall be a booty,

And the multitude of their cattle a spoil:

And lI will scatter into all winds them that are †in the utmost corners;

And I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Lord.

33  And Hazor shall be ma dwelling for dragons,

And na desolation for ever:

oThere shall no man abide there,

oNor any son of man dwell in it.

34  *The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah the prophet against pElam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

35  Thus saith the Lord of hosts;

Behold, I will break qthe bow of Elam,

The chief of their might.

36  And upon Elam will I bring the four winds

From the four quarters of heaven,

And lwill scatter them toward all those winds;

And there shall be no nation

Whither rthe outcasts of Elam shall not come.

37  For I will scause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies,

And before them that seek their life:

And I will bring evil upon them,

Even tmy fierce anger, saith the Lord;

And uI will send the sword after them,

Till I have consumed them:

38  And vI will set my throne in Elam,

And will destroy from thence the king and the princes,

Saith the Lord.

39  But it shall come to pass wxin the latter days,

wThat I will bring again the captivity of Elam,

Saith the Lord.
