29
Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and
all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear
is
on every side.
30
Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the L
ORD
; for Nebuchadrezzar
king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
31
Arise,
get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the L
ORD
, which have neither
gates nor bars,
which
dwell alone.
32
And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their
cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them
that are
in the utmost corners; and I will bring
their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the L
ORD
.
33
And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons,
and
a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor
any
son of man dwell in it.
34
The word of the L
ORD
that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the
reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35
Thus saith the L
ORD
of hosts; Behold, I will break the
bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36
And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four
quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither
the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies,
and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them
even
my fierce anger, saith the
L
ORD
; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
38
And I will set my throne
in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the L
ORD
.
39
But it shall come to pass in the latter days,
that
I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith
the L
ORD
.
CHAPTER 50
The word that the L
ORD
spake against Babylon
and
against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah
the prophet.
2
Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish,
and
conceal
not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are
confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
3
For out of the north there cometh up a nation against
her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall
depart, both man and beast.
4
In those days, and in that time, saith the L
ORD
, the children of Israel shall come, they and the
children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the L
ORD
their God.
5
They
shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward,
saying,
Come, and let us join ourselves to
the L
ORD
in a perpetual covenant
that
shall not be forgotten.
6
My people hath been lost sheep: their
shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away
on
the mountains: they have
gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
7
All that found them have
devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the
L
ORD
, the habitation of justice, even the L
ORD
, the hope of their fathers.
8
Remove out of the midst
of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
