Judgment on Kedar and Hazor (JER 49:28-33)

[49:28] Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down. Thus says the Lord: “Rise up, advance against Kedar! Destroy the people of the east!

[49:29] Their tents and their flocks shall be taken, their curtains and all their goods; their camels shall be led away from them, and men shall cry to them: ‘Terror on every side!’

[49:30] Flee, wander far away, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Hazor! For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has made a plan against you and formed a purpose against you.

[49:31] “Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, that dwells securely, that has no gates or bars, that dwells alone.

[49:32] Their camels shall become plunder, their herds of livestock a spoil. I will scatter to every wind those who cut the corners of their hair, and I will bring their calamity from every side of them,

[49:33] Hazor shall become a haunt of jackals, an everlasting waste; no man shall dwell there; no man shall sojourn in her.”
