Jeremiah 49:28-33

Common English Bible

Get ready to attack Kedar;
    destroy the people from the east!
²⁹ Seize^[a] their tents and their flocks,
    their belongings and all their goods.
Take off with their camels
    and shout as you go:
        “Panic Lurks Everywhere!”
³⁰ Run away; take cover,
    you people of Hazor,
        declares the Lord.
Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar
    has taken counsel and devised a plan against you.
³¹ Get ready to attack a nation
    that feels safe and secure,
        declares the Lord,
    one without barred gates
    that lives by itself.
³² Their camels will become plunder;
    their many cattle will be pillaged.
I will scatter to the winds those who are clean-shaven,^[b]
    and I will bring disaster on them from every side,
        declares the Lord.
³³ Hazor will become a den for wild dogs,
    a wilderness forever.
No one will live there;
    no human will dwell in it.
