Prophecy against Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning (A)Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated. This is what the Lord says:
“Arise, go up to Kedar
And devastate the [a](B)people 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)Horror on every side!’
30 Run away, flee! Dwell in the depths,
You inhabitants of Hazor,” declares the Lord;
“For (F)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has formed a plan against you
And devised a scheme against you.
31 Arise, go up against a nation which is (G)at ease,
Which lives securely,” declares the Lord.
“It has (H)no gates or bars;
They (I)dwell alone.
32 Their camels will become plunder,
And their many livestock for spoils,
And I will (J)scatter to all the winds those who (K)cut the corners of their hair;
And I will bring their disaster from every side,” declares the Lord.
33 “Hazor will become a (L)haunt of jackals,
A desolation forever;
No one will live there,
Nor will [b]anyone of mankind reside in it.”

Prophecies against Kedar and Hazor
28 About Kedar(A) and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar,(B) Babylon’s king, defeated, this is what the Lord says:
Rise up, go against 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 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
has drawn up a plan against you;
he has devised a strategy against you.
31 Rise up, go up against 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 shave 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 even stay in it as a temporary resident.(G)
