"The LORD says,“Army of Babylon, go and attack a nation that lives in peace and security. They have no gates or walls to protect them. They live all alone."
— Jeremiah 49:31, NET Bible
“Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.”
“Arise, get you up unto a nation that is at ease, that dwelleth without care, saith Jehovah; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone. ”
“Arise, go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care, says Yahweh; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.”
“Arise, and go up to a nation that is at ease, and that dwelleth securely, saith the Lord: they have neither gates, nor bars: they dwell alone.”
“Up! go against a nation which is living in comfort and without fear of danger, says the Lord, without doors or locks, living by themselves.”
“Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the Lord, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.”
Judgment Against Kedar and Hazor The LORD spoke about Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon conquered.“Army of Babylon, go and attack Kedar. Lay waste those who live in the eastern desert.
Their tents and their flocks will be taken away. Their tent curtains, equipment, and camels will be carried off. People will shout to them,‘Terror is all around you!’”
The LORD says,“Flee quickly, you who live in Hazor. Take up refuge in remote places. For King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has laid out plans to attack you. He has formed his strategy on how to defeat you.”
The LORD says,“Army of Babylon, go and attack a nation that lives in peace and security. They have no gates or walls to protect them. They live all alone.
Their camels will be taken as plunder. Their vast herds will be taken as spoil. I will scatter to the four winds those desert peoples who cut their hair short at the temples. I will bring disaster against them from every direction,” says the LORD.
“Hazor will become a permanent wasteland, a place where only jackals live. No one will live there. No human being will settle in it.”
