30 Flee, wander far away, dwell in the depths,
    O inhabitants of Hazor!
                says the Lord.
For Nebuchadrez′zar king of Babylon
    has made a plan against you,
    and formed a purpose against you.

31 “Rise up, advance against a nation at ease,
    that dwells securely,
                says the Lord,
that has no gates or bars,
    that dwells alone.
32 Their camels shall become booty,
    their herds of cattle a spoil.
I will scatter to every wind
    those who cut the corners of their hair,
and I will bring their calamity
    from every side of them,
                says the Lord.

    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,”
