Jeremiah 49:28-33
Evangelical Heritage Version
A Prophecy Against Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck, this is what the Lord says:
Arise, go up to Kedar,
and destroy the people of the East.
29 Their tents and their flocks will be taken,
their tent curtains and everything in their tents.
Their camels will be taken away from them,
and men will shout to them, “Terror on every side!”
30 Quick, fly away!
Hide in deep caves, you who live in Hazor,
declares the Lord,
because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has plotted against you,
and he has made plans to defeat you.
31 Arise! Attack a nation at ease, that lives without care,
declares the Lord,
a nation that has neither gates nor bars, that lives by itself.
32 Their camels will be plunder,
and their vast herds of livestock a prize.
I will scatter to all the winds those who live in distant places,[a]
and I will bring disaster on them from every side,
declares the Lord.
33 Hazor will be a place where jackals live,
a desolate place forever.
No man will live there.
No one will live in that place even as a temporary resident.
