Jeremiah 49:28-39 ▼

28 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. |Thus says the LORD: 'Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the people of the east.'

29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, 'Terror on every side.'

30 Flee, wander far off, dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor,| says the LORD; |for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.|

31 |Arise, go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care, says the LORD; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.

32 Their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a spoil: and I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them,| says the LORD.

33 |Hazor shall be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it.|

34 The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,

35 |Thus says the LORD: 'Look, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.

36 On Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.

37 I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger,' says the LORD; 'and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;

38 and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and officials,' says the LORD.

39 'But it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam,' says the LORD.|
