Prophecy against Kedar and Hazor

28 Concerning (A)Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated. Thus says the Lord,

“Arise, go up to Kedar
And devastate the [a](B)men of the east.
29 “They will take away their tents and their flocks;
They will carry off for themselves
Their tent (C)curtains, all their goods and their (D)camels,
And they will call out to one another, ‘(E)Terror on every side!’
30 “Run away, flee! Dwell in the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor,” declares the Lord;
“For (F)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has formed a plan against you
And devised a scheme against you.
31 “Arise, go up against a nation which is (G)at ease,
Which lives securely,” declares the Lord.
“It has (H)no gates or bars;
They (I)dwell alone.
32 “Their camels will become plunder,
And their many cattle for booty,
And I will (J)scatter to all the winds those who (K)cut the corners of their hair;
And I will bring their disaster from every side,” declares the Lord.
33 “Hazor will become a (L)haunt of jackals,
A desolation forever;
No one will live there,
Nor will a son of man reside in it.”
