Jeremiah 49:28-33
Christian Standard Bible
Prophecies against Kedar and Hazor
28 About Kedar(A) and the kingdoms of Hazor, which King Nebuchadnezzar(B) of Babylon defeated, this is what the Lord says:
Rise up, attack Kedar,
and destroy the people of the east!
29 They will take their tents and their flocks
along with their tent curtains and all their equipment.
They will take their camels for themselves.
They will call out to them,
“Terror is on every side!” (C)
30 Run! Escape quickly! Lie low,
residents of Hazor—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
for King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon
has drawn up a plan against you;
he has devised a strategy against you.
31 Rise up, attack a nation at ease,
one living in security.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
They have no doors, not even a gate bar;
they live alone.(D)
32 Their camels will become plunder,
and their massive herds of cattle will become spoil.(E)
I will scatter them to the wind in every direction,
those who clip the hair on their temples;
I will bring calamity on them across all their borders.
This is the Lord’s declaration.
33 Hazor will become a jackals’ den,(F)
a desolation forever.
No one will live there;
no human being will stay in it even temporarily.(G)
