Jeremiah 49:28–33

A Message About Kedar and Hazor

²⁸Concerning Kedarⁿ and the kingdoms of Hazor,^o which Nebuchadnezzar^p king of Babylon attacked:

This is what the Lord says:

“Arise, and attack Kedar

and destroy the people of the East.^q

²⁹Their tents and their flocks^r will be taken;

their shelters will be carried off

with all their goods and camels.

People will shout to them,

‘Terror^s on every side!’

³⁰“Flee quickly away!

Stay in deep caves,^t you who live in Hazor,^u”

declares the Lord.

“Nebuchadnezzar^v king of Babylon has plotted against you;

he has devised a plan against you.

³¹“Arise and attack a nation at ease,

which lives in confidence,”

declares the Lord,

“a nation that has neither gates nor bars;^w

its people live far from danger.

³²Their camels^x will become plunder,

and their large herds^y will be spoils of war.

I will scatter to the winds^z those who are in distant places^ea

and will bring disaster on them from every side,”

declares the Lord.

³³“Hazor^b will become a haunt of jackals,^c

a desolate^d place forever.

No one will live there;

no people will dwell^e in it.”
