28 Concerning Kedar tribe and Hatsor’s kingdoms (which were about to be attacked by Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar) Yahweh says this:

Take action and attack Kedar and destroy those eastern people.

29 Their tents and their flocks will be taken,

along with their tent curtains and all of their equipment.

Their camels will be led away from them,

and warriors surrounding them will call out things that terrify them.

30 Yahweh says to you inhabitants of Hatsor:

Quickly, flee, hide in deep caves,

because the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar has made a plan

and plotted out his destiny for you all.

31 Yahweh says to the Babylonians:

Take action and attack that nation at ease—

that lives in safety.

They don’t have gates with bars across them,

and its people live by themselves.

32 Their camels will become plunder,

and their many livestock will become war plunder.

Then those who cut the corners of their hair, I’ll scatter to every wind

and I’ll bring disaster on them from every direction.

That is Yahweh’s declaration.

33 Hatsor will become a home for jackals—a permanent wasteland.

No one will live there—no human would want to stay there.
