Jeremiah 49:29-31

New International Reader's Version

³⁰ “Run away quickly!
    You who live in Hazor, stay in deep caves,”
    announces the Lord.
“Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon,
    has made plans against you.
    He has decided to attack you.

³¹ “Armies of Babylon, prepare for battle.
Attack a nation that feels secure.
    Its people do not have any worries,”
    announces the Lord.
“That nation does not have gates or bars that lock them.
    Its people live far from danger.
