Judgment on Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning
1Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down. Thus says the LORD:
2"Rise up, advance against
3Kedar! Destroy
4the people of the east!
29
5Their tents and their flocks shall be taken, their
6curtains and all their goods; their camels shall be led away from them, and men shall cry to them:
7'Terror on every side!'
30
8Flee, 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
9"Rise up, advance against a nation
10at ease,
11that dwells securely, declares the LORD,
12that has no gates or bars, that dwells alone.
32
13Their camels shall become plunder, their herds of livestock a spoil.
14I will scatter to every wind
15those 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
16a haunt of jackals, an everlasting waste;
17no man shall dwell there;
18no man shall sojourn in her."
