30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.

31 Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.

32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the Lord.

33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.

30 “Flee quickly away!
    Stay in deep caves,(A) you who live in Hazor,(B)
declares the Lord.
“Nebuchadnezzar(C) 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;(D)
    its people live far from danger.
32 Their camels(E) will become plunder,
    and their large herds(F) will be spoils of war.
I will scatter to the winds(G) those who are in distant places[a](H)
    and will bring disaster on them from every side,”
declares the Lord.
33 “Hazor(I) will become a haunt of jackals,(J)
    a desolate(K) place forever.
No one will live there;
    no people will dwell(L) in it.”
