27. I will set fire to the walls of Damascus;it will burn up the fortresses of Ben-hadad.
28. Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Babylon’s King Nebuchadnezzar defeated, the Lord proclaims:Get ready to attack Kedar;destroy the people from the east!
29. Seize their tents and their flocks,their belongings and all their goods.Take off with their camelsand shout as you go:"Panic Lurks Everywhere!"
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.
