30. Run away; take cover,you people of Hazor,declares the Lord.Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzarhas taken counsel and devised a plan against you.
31. Get ready to attack a nationthat feels safe and secure,declares the Lord, one without barred gatesthat lives by itself.
32. Their camels will become plunder;their many cattle will be pillaged.I will scatter to the winds those who are clean-shaven,and I will bring disaster on them from every side,declares the Lord.
33. Hazor will become a den for wild dogs,a wilderness forever.No one will live there;no human will dwell in it.
34. This is what the Lord told the prophet Jeremiah concerning Elam at the beginning of the rule of Judah’s King Zedekiah.
35. The Lord of heavenly forces proclaims:I’m going to break the bow of Elam,the backbone of its military might.
