Word Against Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning (A)Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down. Thus says Yahweh,
“Arise, go up to Kedar
And destroy the [a](B)men of the east.
29 They will take away their tents and their flocks;
They will carry off for themselves
Their tent (C)curtains, all their goods, and their (D)camels,
And they will call out to one another, ‘(E)Terror on every side!’
30 Run away, flee earnestly! Inhabit the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor,” declares Yahweh;
“For (F)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you
And purposed a purpose against you.
31 Arise, go up against a nation which is (G)at ease,
Which inhabits its land securely,” declares Yahweh.
“It has (H)no gates or bars;
They (I)dwell alone.
32 Their camels will become plunder,
And their many cattle for spoil,
And I will (J)scatter to all the winds those who (K)cut the corners of their hair;
And I will bring their [b]disaster from every side,” declares Yahweh.
33 “Hazor will become a (L)haunt of jackals,
A desolation forever;
No one will inhabit there,
Nor will a son of man sojourn in it.”

A Message About Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning Kedar(A) and the kingdoms of Hazor,(B) which Nebuchadnezzar(C) king of Babylon attacked:
This is what the Lord says:
“Arise, and attack Kedar
and destroy the people of the East.(D)
29 Their tents and their flocks(E) will be taken;
their shelters will be carried off
with all their goods and camels.
People will shout to them,
‘Terror(F) on every side!’
30 “Flee quickly away!
Stay in deep caves,(G) you who live in Hazor,(H)”
declares the Lord.
“Nebuchadnezzar(I) 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;(J)
its people live far from danger.
32 Their camels(K) will become plunder,
and their large herds(L) will be spoils of war.
I will scatter to the winds(M) those who are in distant places[a](N)
and will bring disaster on them from every side,”
declares the Lord.
33 “Hazor(O) will become a haunt of jackals,(P)
a desolate(Q) place forever.
No one will live there;
no people will dwell(R) in it.”
