27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, which shall consume the palaces of [a]Ben-Hadad.

28 Unto [b]Kedar, and to the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babel shall smite, thus saith the Lord, Arise, and go up unto Kedar, and destroy the men of the East.

29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: yea, they shall take to themselves their [c]curtains and all their vessels, and their camels, and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.
