Jeremiah 49:28-33
New American Standard Bible
Prophecy against Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning (A)Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated. This is what the Lord says:
“Arise, go up to Kedar
And devastate the [a](B)people of the east.
29 They will take away their tents and their flocks;
They will carry off for themselves
Their tent (C)curtains, all their goods and their (D)camels,
And they will call out to one another, ‘(E)Horror on every side!’
30 Run away, flee! Dwell in the depths,
You inhabitants of Hazor,” declares the Lord;
“For (F)Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has formed a plan against you
And devised a scheme against you.
31 Arise, go up against a nation which is (G)at ease,
Which lives securely,” declares the Lord.
“It has (H)no gates or bars;
They (I)dwell alone.
32 Their camels will become plunder,
And their many livestock for spoils,
And I will (J)scatter to all the winds those who (K)cut the corners of their hair;
And I will bring their disaster from every side,” declares the Lord.
33 “Hazor will become a (L)haunt of jackals,
A desolation forever;
No one will live there,
Nor will [b]anyone of mankind reside in it.”

Jeremiah 49:28-33
American Standard Version
28 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote.
Thus saith Jehovah: Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and destroy the children of the east. 29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Terror on every side! 30 Flee ye, wander far off, dwell in the depths, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jehovah; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you. 31 Arise, get you up unto a nation that is at ease, that dwelleth without care, saith Jehovah; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone. 32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter unto all winds them that have the corners of their hair cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, saith Jehovah. 33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling-place of jackals, a desolation for ever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man sojourn therein.
