26“Therefore, her young men will fall in her streets,
         And all the men of war will be silenced in that day,” declares the LORD of hosts.

27“I will set fire to the wall of Damascus,
         And it will devour the fortified towers of Ben-hadad.”

Prophecy against Kedar and Hazor

      28Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated. Thus says the LORD,
         “Arise, go up to Kedar
         And devastate the men of the east.

29“They will take away their tents and their flocks;
         They will carry off for themselves
         Their tent curtains, all their goods and their camels,
         And they will call out to one another, ‘Terror on every side!’

30“Run away, flee! Dwell in the depths,
         O inhabitants of Hazor,” declares the LORD;
         “For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has formed a plan against you
         And devised a scheme against you.

31“Arise, go up against a nation which is at ease,
         Which lives securely,” declares the LORD.
         “It has no gates or bars;
         They dwell alone.

32“Their camels will become plunder,
         And their many cattle for booty,
         And I will scatter to all the winds those who cut the corners of their hair;
         And I will bring their disaster from every side,” declares the LORD.

33“Hazor will become a haunt of jackals,
         A desolation forever;
         No one will live there,
         Nor will a son of man reside in it.”

Prophecy against Elam

      34That which came as the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:

35“Thus says the LORD of hosts,
         ‘Behold, I am going to break the bow of Elam,
         The finest of their might.

36‘I will bring upon Elam the four winds
         From the four ends of heaven,
         And will scatter them to all these winds;
         And there will be no nation
         To which the outcasts of Elam will not go.

37‘So I will shatter Elam before their enemies
         And before those who seek their lives;
         And I will bring calamity upon them,
         Even My fierce anger,’ declares the LORD,
         ‘And I will send out the sword after them
         Until I have consumed them.

38‘Then I will set My throne in Elam
         And destroy out of it king and princes,’
         Declares the LORD.

39‘But it will come about in the last days
         That I will restore the fortunes of Elam,’”
         Declares the LORD.
