Judgment on Kedar and Hazor

Jeremiah 49

28 Concerning i Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down.
Thus says the Lord:
j "Rise up, advance against i Kedar!
Destroy k the people of the east!
 29 l Their tents and their flocks shall be taken,
their l curtains and all their goods;
their camels shall be led away from them,
and men shall cry to them: m 'Terror on every side!'
 30 n Flee, 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 j "Rise up, advance against a nation o at ease,
p that dwells securely,
declares the Lord,
p that has no gates or bars,
that dwells alone.
 32 q Their camels shall become plunder,
their herds of livestock a spoil.
r I will scatter to every wind
s those 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 t a haunt of jackals,
an everlasting waste;
u no man shall dwell there;
u no man shall sojourn in her."
