Jeremiah 49:28-33
New Living Translation
A Message about Kedar and Hazor
28 This message was given concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which were attacked by King Nebuchadnezzar[a] of Babylon. This is what the Lord says:
“Advance against Kedar!
Destroy the warriors from the East!
29 Their flocks and tents will be captured,
and their household goods and camels will be taken away.
Everywhere shouts of panic will be heard:
‘We are terrorized at every turn!’
30 Run for your lives,” says the Lord.
“Hide yourselves in deep caves, you people of Hazor,
for King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has plotted against you
and is preparing to destroy you.
31 “Go up and attack that complacent nation,”
says the Lord.
“Its people live alone in the desert
without walls or gates.
32 Their camels and other livestock will all be yours.
I will scatter to the winds these people
who live in remote places.[b]
I will bring calamity upon them
from every direction,” says the Lord.
33 “Hazor will be inhabited by jackals,
and it will be desolate forever.
No one will live there;
no one will inhabit it.”
Jeremiah 49:28-33

Judgment on Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning (A)Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down.
Thus says the Lord:
(B)“Rise up, advance against (C)Kedar!
Destroy (D)the people of the east!
29 (E)Their tents and their flocks shall be taken,
their (F)curtains and all their goods;
their camels shall be led away from them,
and men shall cry to them: (G)‘Terror on every side!’
30 (H)Flee, wander far away, dwell in the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor!
declares the Lord.
For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
has made a plan against you
and formed a purpose against you.
31 (I)“Rise up, advance against a nation (J)at ease,
(K)that dwells securely,
declares the Lord,
(L)that has no gates or bars,
that dwells alone.
32 (M)Their camels shall become plunder,
their herds of livestock a spoil.
(N)I will scatter to every wind
(O)those who cut the corners of their hair,
and I will bring their calamity
from every side of them,
declares the Lord.
33 Hazor shall become (P)a haunt of jackals,
an everlasting waste;
(Q)no man shall dwell there;
(R)no man shall sojourn in her.”
