28 Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar defeated, the Lord proclaims:Get ready to attack Kedar;destroy the people from the east!
29 Seize their tents and their flocks,their belongings and all their goods.Take off with their camelsand shout as you go:"Panic Lurks Everywhere!"
30 Run away; take cover,you people of Hazor,declares the Lord.Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzarhas taken counsel and devised a plan against you.
31 Get ready to attack a nationthat feels safe and secure,declares the Lord, one without barred gatesthat 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,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.
34 This is what the Lord told the prophet Jeremiah concerning Elam at the beginning of the rule of Judah’s King Zedekiah.
