Jeremiah 49:31-33

New International Reader's Version

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.
³² Their camels will be stolen.
    Their large herds will be taken away.
I will scatter to the winds those who are in places far away.
    I will bring trouble on them from every side,”
    announces the Lord.
³³ “Hazor will become a home for wild dogs.
    It will be a dry and empty desert forever.
No one will live in that land.
    No human beings will stay there.”
