Jeremiah 49:27-33 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

27. I will set fire to the wall of Damascus;it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

28. About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, defeated.Thus says the Lord:Rise up, attack Kedar,destroy the people from the east.

29. Their tents and flocks shall be taken away,their tent curtains and all their goods;Their camels they carry off,they shout over them, “Terror on every side!”

30. Flee! wander about, hide deep for lodging,inhabitants of Hazor—oracle of the Lord;For Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, has devised a strategy against you,drawn up a plan against you,

31. Get up! set out against a tranquil nation,living in security—oracle of the Lord—Without gates or bars,dwelling alone.

32. Their camels shall become spoils,their hordes of cattle, plunder;I will scatter to the winds those who shave their temples;from every side I will bring their ruin—oracle of the Lord.

33. Hazor shall become a haunt for jackals,a wasteland forever,Where no one lives,no mortal stays.
