Jeremiah 49:28

Kedar Nebuchadnezzar Babylon Hazor Kedar

²⁶ For her young men will fall in the streets, and all her warriors will be silenced in that day,” declares the LORD of Hosts.

²⁷ “I will set fire to the walls of Damascus; it will consume the fortresses of Ben-hadad.”

Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated, this is what the LORD says: “Rise up, advance against Kedar, and destroy the people of the east!

²⁹ They will take their tents and flocks, their tent curtains and all their goods. They will take their camels for themselves. They will shout to them: ‘Terror is on every side!’

³⁰ Run! Escape quickly! Lie low, O residents of Hazor,” declares the LORD, “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has drawn up a plan against you; he has devised a strategy against you.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
