Context of Jeremiah 49:33

31Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, one that dwells securely,” declares the LORD. “They have no gates or bars; they live alone. 32Their camels will become plunder, and their large herds will be spoil. I will scatter to the wind in every direction those who shave their temples; I will bring calamity on them from all sides,” declares the LORD. “Hazor will become a haunt for jackals, a desolation forever. No one will dwell there; no man will abide there.” 34This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah. 35This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold, I will shatter Elam’s bow, the mainstay of their might.
