28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck, thus says YHWH: “Arise and go up to Kedar, and destroy the men of the east! 29 Their tents and their flocks they will take away; their curtains, and all their vessels and their camels they will carry off for themselves; they will cry out over them, ‘Terror is on every side!’ 30 Flee, wander far away, go deep to dwell, O dwellers of Hazor,” a declaration of YHWH. “For he has taken counsel against you?—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he has planned counsel against you?, a purpose. 31 Arise, go up against a nation at ease, Dwelling in safety,” a declaration of YHWH. “No gates and no bars are unto it; alone they dwell. 32 Their camels will be for spoil, and the multitude of their cattle for plunder, and I will scatter to every wind those cutting the corner; from all its sides I will bring their calamity!” A declaration of YHWH. 33 “Hazor will become as an abode for jackals, a desolation even to forever; no man will dwell there, and no a son of man will sojourn in it.” 34 That which came to be the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet regarding Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying: 35 Thus says YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am going to break the bow of Elam, the foremost of their might. 36 And I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four corners of the heavens, and I will scatter them to all these winds, and there will be no nations to which those driven out of Elam will not go there. 37 And I will shatter Elam before the face of their enemies, and before those seeking their soul; I will bring upon them disaster, the burning of My anger,” a declaration of YHWH. “And I will send after them the sword until I have finished them. 38 And I will set My throne in Elam, and I will destroy from there the king and the princes,” a declaration of YHWH. 39 “And it will come to pass in the latter days that I will turn back the captivity of Elam,” a declaration of YHWH.
