Judgment on Kedar and Hazor

28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated:

Thus says the Lord:

Arise, go up to Kedar,
    and destroy the men of the East.
29 Their tents and their flocks they will take away.
    They will carry away their curtains for themselves,
    and all their vessels, and their camels;
and they will call out to one another,
    “Terror is on every side!”

30 Flee, go 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 purpose against you.

31 Arise, go up to the nation at ease,
    that dwells securely,
    says the Lord.
It has neither gates nor bars;
    they dwell alone.
32 Their camels will become plunder,
    and the multitude of their cattle booty.
And I will scatter into all winds those who cut the corners of their hair,
    and I will bring their calamity from all sides,
    says the Lord.
33 Hazor will become a dwelling for jackals
    and a desolation forever.
No man will abide there,
    nor any son of man dwell in it.
