Context of Jeremiah 49:29
27I will set fire to the wall of Damascus; it will consume Ben-hadad’s citadels. 28About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated, this is what the Lord says: Rise up, attack Kedar, and destroy the people of the east! They will take their tents and their flocks along with their tent curtains and all their equipment. They will take their camels for themselves. They will call out to them, “Terror is on every side!” 30Run! Escape quickly! Lie low, residents of Hazor — this is the Lord’s declaration — for King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has drawn up a plan against you; he has devised a strategy against you. 31Rise up, attack a nation at ease, one living in security. This is the Lord’s declaration. They have no doors, not even a gate bar; they live alone.
