The restoration of Elam They will take their tents and flocks This phrase indicates a nomadic lifestyle, typical of the Bedouin tribes in the ancient Near East. Tents and flocks were essential for survival, representing both shelter and livelihood. The taking of these items suggests a complete plundering, leaving the people without their basic means of living. This reflects the judgment pronounced by God through Jeremiah, as the nomadic tribes were often involved in raids and conflicts with settled communities. their tent curtains and all their goods They will take their camels for themselves They will shout to them: ‘Terror is on every side!’ Persons / Places / Events 1. KedarA nomadic tribe descended from Ishmael, known for their tents and flocks. They were skilled in archery and lived in the Arabian desert. 2. Hazor A region or group of settlements in Arabia, not to be confused with the Canaanite city of the same name. It was associated with Kedar and known for its wealth and trade. 3. Nebuchadnezzar The king of Babylon who was used by God as an instrument of judgment against various nations, including Kedar and Hazor. 4. Jeremiah The prophet who delivered God's messages of judgment and hope to the nations, including the prophecy against Kedar and Hazor. 5. Babylonian Invasion The event where Nebuchadnezzar's forces would attack and plunder the wealth of Kedar and Hazor, fulfilling God's judgment. Teaching Points God's Sovereignty in JudgmentGod uses nations and leaders to accomplish His purposes, even when they are unaware of His plans. This reminds us of His ultimate control over history. The Fleeting Nature of Earthly Wealth The wealth and security of Kedar and Hazor were temporary. We should not place our trust in material possessions but in God, who is eternal. The Reality of Divine Justice God's justice is impartial and inevitable. It serves as a warning to live righteously and align ourselves with His will. The Call to Repentance Prophecies of judgment are also calls to repentance. We should examine our lives and turn from sin to avoid spiritual downfall. The Assurance of God's Word The fulfillment of prophecy demonstrates the reliability of God's Word. We can trust His promises and warnings as true and certain.(29) Fear is on every side.--There is a striking individuality in this reproduction of the Magor-missabib cry which had been so prominent in the prophet's own life and preaching (Jeremiah 6:25; Jeremiah 20:3; Jeremiah 20:10; Jeremiah 46:5).Verse 29. - All the possessions of the nomad are here mentioned - first his tents and his flocks; then the hangings of which the tent is composed (Jeremiah 4:20; Jeremiah 10:20), and the vessels which it contains; and finally the camels which the Arab rides, not to mention their other uses. All this shall be ruthlessly appropriated by the Chaldean invaders. Fear is on every side. Again Jeremiah's motto recurs (see on Jeremiah 6:25). It expresses here, not the war cry itself, but the result produced by it. Parallel Commentaries ...
