Context of Jeremiah 49:33

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. 32Their camels will become plunder, and their massive herds of cattle will become spoil. I will scatter them to the wind in every direction, those who clip the hair on their temples; I will bring calamity on them across all their borders. This is the Lord’s declaration. Hazor will become a jackals’ den, a desolation forever. No one will live there; no human being will stay in it even temporarily. 34This is the word of the Lord that came to the prophet Jeremiah about Elam at the beginning of the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah. 35This is what the Lord of Armies says: I am about to shatter Elam’s bow, the source of their might.
