Jeremiah
Jeremiah 49:28–30
28Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated, this is what the LORD says:
“Rise up, advance against Kedar,
and destroy the people of the east!
29They will take their tents and flocks,
their tent curtains and all their goods.
They will take their camels for themselves.
They will shout to them: ‘Terror is on every side!’
30Run! Escape quickly!
Lie low, O residents of Hazor,”
declares the LORD,
“for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon
has drawn up a plan against you;
he has devised a strategy against you.
