Word Against Kedar and Hazor
28 Concerning aKedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down. Thus says Yahweh,
“Arise, go up to Kedar
And destroy the bmen of the east.
29 They will take away their tents and their flocks;
They will carry off for themselves
Their tent acurtains, all their goods, and their bcamels,
And they will call out to one another, ‘cTerror on every side!’
30 Run away, flee earnestly! Inhabit the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor,” declares Yahweh;
“For aNebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you
And purposed a purpose against you.
31 Arise, go up against a nation which is aat ease,
Which inhabits its land securely,” declares Yahweh.
“It has bno gates or bars;
They cdwell alone.
32 Their camels will become plunder,
And their many cattle for spoil,
And I will ascatter to all the winds those who bcut the corners of their hair;
And I will bring their disaster from every side,” declares Yahweh.
33 “Hazor will become a ahaunt of jackals,
A desolation forever;
No one will inhabit there,
Nor will a son of man sojourn in it.”
