Jeremiah 49:28–33

A Message Concerning Kedar and the Kingdoms of Hazor

²⁸Concerning Kedar and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon defeated. Thus says Yahweh:

“Rise up, go up against Kedar

and destroy the people^j of the east.

²⁹They will take their tents, and their flocks,

their tent curtains, and all their equipment,

and their camels they will carry away for themselves,

and they will call to them, ‘Terror is from all around.’

³⁰Flee! Wander far away! Get down low!^k

O inhabitants of Hazor,” declares^l Yahweh.

“For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has planned a plan against you.

And he has schemed^m a schemeⁿ against you.

³¹Rise up, go up against a nation which is at ease,

living securely,”^o declares^p Yahweh.

“There are no gates and there are no bars^q for them,

they dwell alone.

³²And their camels will become as plunder,

and the multitude of their livestock as spoil.

And I will scatter to every wind those who are trimmed to the side,

and from every side^r I will bring their disaster,” declares^s Yahweh.

³³“And Hazor will become as a lair of jackals,

a waste forever;

no one will live there,

and no son of humankind will dwell as an alien in it.”
