28 Concerning Kedar and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon defeated. Thus says Yahweh:
"Rise up, go up against Kedar and destroy
the people
* of
the east.
29 They will take their tents, and their flocks, their tent curtains, and all their equipment, and their camels they will carry away for themselves, and they will call to them, 'Terror
is from all around.'
30 Flee! Wander far away!
⌊Get down low
⌋!
* O inhabitants of Hazor,"
⌊declares
⌋* Yahweh. "For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has planned a plan against you. And he has schemed
* a scheme
* against you.
31 Rise up, go up against a nation
which is at ease, living
⌊securely
⌋,"
* ⌊declares
⌋* Yahweh. "
There are no gates and
there are no bars
* for them, they dwell alone.
32 And their camels will become as plunder, and the multitude of their livestock as spoil. And I will scatter to every wind
those who are trimmed to
the side, and from
⌊every side
⌋* I will bring their disaster,"
⌊declares
⌋* Yahweh.
33 "And Hazor will become as a lair of jackals, a waste forever; no one will live there, and no son of humankind will dwell as an alien in it."
