Jeremiah 49:28-33
Lexham English Bible
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.”

New King James Version
Judgment on Kedar and Hazor
28 (A)Against Kedar and against the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon shall strike.
Thus says the Lord:
“Arise, go up to Kedar,
And devastate (B)the men of the East!
29 Their (C)tents and their flocks they shall take away.
They shall take for themselves their curtains,
All their vessels and their camels;
And they shall cry out to them,
(D)‘Fear is on every side!’
30 “Flee, get far away! Dwell in the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor!” says the Lord.
“For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you,
And has conceived a plan against you.
31 “Arise, go up to (E)the wealthy nation that dwells securely,” says the Lord,
“Which has neither gates nor bars,
(F)Dwelling alone.
32 Their camels shall be for booty,
And the multitude of their cattle for plunder.
I will (G)scatter to all winds those [a]in the farthest corners,
And I will bring their calamity from all its sides,” says the Lord.
33 “Hazor (H)shall be a dwelling for jackals, a desolation forever;
No one shall reside there,
Nor son of man dwell in it.”
