Context of Jeremiah 49:29

27“I will set fire to the wall of Damascus, And it will consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.” 28Concerning Kedar and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated. Thus says the Lord, “Arise, go up against Kedar And destroy the men of the east. They (the Babylonians) will take away their tents and their flocks; They will carry off for themselves Their tent curtains, all their goods and their camels, And they will call out to one another, ‘Terror on every side!’ 30Flee, run far away! Dwell in the depths [of the desert], O inhabitants of Hazor,” says the Lord, “For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has planned a course of action against you And devised a scheme against you. 31Arise [Nebuchadnezzar], go up against a nation which is at ease, Which lives securely,” says the Lord, “A nation which has neither gates nor bars; They dwell apart and alone.
