Selected verse

Flee!

Wander far off!

Dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor,” says the LORD;

“for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you,

and has conceived a purpose against you.

31

Arise! Go up to a nation that is at ease,

that dwells without care,” says the LORD;

“that has neither gates nor bars,

that dwells alone.

32

Their camels will be a booty,

and the multitude of their livestock a plunder.

I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off;

and I will bring their calamity from every side of them,”

says the LORD.

33

Hazor will be a dwelling place of jackals,

a desolation forever.

No man will dwell there,

neither will any son of man live therein.”
