A Message About Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning Kedar(A) and the kingdoms of Hazor,(B) which Nebuchadnezzar(C) king of Babylon attacked:
This is what the Lord says:
“Arise, and attack Kedar
and destroy the people of the East.(D)
29 Their tents and their flocks(E) will be taken;
their shelters will be carried off
with all their goods and camels.
People will shout to them,
‘Terror(F) on every side!’
30 “Flee quickly away!
Stay in deep caves,(G) you who live in Hazor,(H)”
declares the Lord.
“Nebuchadnezzar(I) 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;(J)
its people live far from danger.
32 Their camels(K) will become plunder,
and their large herds(L) will be spoils of war.
I will scatter to the winds(M) those who are in distant places[a](N)
and will bring disaster on them from every side,”
declares the Lord.
33 “Hazor(O) will become a haunt of jackals,(P)
a desolate(Q) place forever.
No one will live there;
no people will dwell(R) in it.”

A Message Concerning Kedar and the Kingdoms of Hazor
28 Concerning Kedar and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon defeated. Thus says Yahweh:
“Rise up, go up against Kedar
and destroy the people[a] of the east.
29 They will take their tents, and their flocks,
their tent curtains, and all their equipment,
and their camels they will carry away for themselves,
and they will call to them, ‘Terror is from all around.’
30 Flee! Wander far away! Get down low![b]
O inhabitants of Hazor,” declares[c] Yahweh.
“For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has planned a plan against you.
And he has schemed[d] a scheme[e] against you.
31 Rise up, go up against a nation which is at ease,
living securely,”[f] declares[g] Yahweh.
“There are no gates and there are no bars[h] for them,
they dwell alone.
32 And their camels will become as plunder,
and the multitude of their livestock as spoil.
And I will scatter to every wind those who are trimmed to the side,
and from every side[i] I will bring their disaster,” declares[j] Yahweh.
33 “And Hazor will become as a lair of jackals,
a waste forever;
no one will live there,
and no son of humankind will dwell as an alien in it.”
