A Prophecy against Kedar and Hazor

28 This is about the tribe of Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated. This is what Yahweh says:

Get ready, attack Kedar,
    and loot the people from the east.
29 Their tents and their flocks will be taken.
    Their tent curtains, utensils, and camels will be carried away.
    People will shout to them, “Terror is all around!”
30 Run far away! Find a place to hide,
    inhabitants of Hazor, declares Yahweh.
    King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has made plans against you
    and intends to attack you.
31 Get ready! Attack the nation living peacefully and securely,
    declares Yahweh.
        It is a nation with no gates or bars.
        Its people live alone.
32 Their camels will be taken as prizes.
    Their large herds will be taken as loot.
    I will scatter to the winds
        those who shave the hair on their foreheads.
    I will bring disaster on them from every side,
        declares Yahweh.
33 Hazor will be a place where only jackals live.
    It will become a permanent wasteland.
        No one will live there.
        No human will stay there.
