Jeremiah 49:28–33

Prophecy against Kedar and Hazor

²⁸Concerning ^aKedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated. Thus says the Lord,

“Arise, go up to Kedar

And devastate 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! Dwell in the depths,

O inhabitants of Hazor,” declares the Lord;

“For ^aNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has formed a plan against you

And devised a scheme against you.

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

Which lives securely,” declares the Lord.

“It has ^bno gates or bars;

They ^cdwell alone.

³²“Their camels will become plunder,

And their many cattle for booty,

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

And I will bring their disaster from every side,” declares the Lord.

³³“Hazor will become a ^ahaunt of jackals,

A desolation forever;

No one will live there,

Nor will a son of man reside in it.”
