30 “Flee, get far away! Dwell in the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor!” says the Lord.
“For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you,
And has conceived a plan against you.

31 “Arise, go up to (A)the wealthy nation that dwells securely,” says the Lord,
“Which has neither gates nor bars,
(B)Dwelling alone.
32 Their camels shall be for booty,
And the multitude of their cattle for plunder.
I will (C)scatter to all winds those [a]in the farthest corners,
And I will bring their calamity from all its sides,” says the Lord.
