Jeremiah 49:28–33

Word Against Kedar and Hazor

²⁸Concerning ^aKedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down. Thus says Yahweh,

“Arise, go up to Kedar

And destroy the ^1bmen of the east.

²⁹“They will take away their tents and their flocks;

They will carry off for themselves

Their tent ^acurtains, all their goods, and their ^bcamels,

And they will call out to one another, ‘^cTerror on every side!’

³⁰“Run away, flee earnestly! Inhabit the depths,

O inhabitants of Hazor,” declares Yahweh;

“For ^aNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you

And purposed a purpose against you.

³¹“Arise, go up against a nation which is ^aat ease,

Which inhabits its land securely,” declares Yahweh.

“It has ^bno gates or bars;

They ^cdwell alone.

³²“Their camels will become plunder,

And their many cattle for spoil,

And I will ^ascatter to all the winds those who ^bcut the corners of their hair;

And I will bring their ¹disaster from every side,” declares Yahweh.

³³“Hazor will become a ^ahaunt of jackals,

A desolation forever;

No one will inhabit there,

Nor will a son of man sojourn in it.”
