Thus says the Lord:
Rise up; advance against Kedar!
    Destroy the people of the east!^(A)
29 They take their tents and their flocks,
    their curtains and all their goods;
they carry off their camels for themselves,
    and a cry shall go up: “Terror is all around!”^(B)
30 Flee; wander far away; hide in deep places,
    O inhabitants of Hazor!
            says the Lord.
For King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon
    has made a plan against you
    and formed a purpose against you.^(C)

³¹ Rise up; advance against a nation at ease,
    that lives secure,
            says the Lord,
that has no gates or bars,
    that lives alone.^(D)
32 Their camels shall become plunder;
    their herds of cattle a spoil.
I will scatter to every wind
    those who have shaved temples,
and I will bring calamity
    against them from every side,
            says the Lord.^(E)
33 Hazor shall become a lair of jackals,
    an everlasting waste;
no one shall live there,
    nor shall anyone settle in it.^(F)

In the scrub of the desert plain you will lodge,
    O caravans of Dedanites.^(A)
