Judgment on Kedar and Hazor

28 Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor which Nebuchadrez′zar king of Babylon smote.

Thus says the Lord:

“Rise up, advance against Kedar!
    Destroy the people of the east!
29 Their tents and their flocks shall be taken,
    their curtains and all their goods;
their camels shall be borne away from them,
    and men shall cry to them: ‘Terror on every side!’
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.
33 Hazor shall become a haunt of jackals,
    an everlasting waste;
no man shall dwell there,
    no man shall sojourn in her.”
