Context of Jeremiah 49:33

31The Lord says, “Army of Babylon, go and attack a nation that lives in peace and security. They have no gates or walls to protect them. They live all alone. 32Their camels will be taken as plunder. Their vast herds will be taken as spoil. I will scatter to the four winds those desert peoples who cut their hair short at the temples. I will bring disaster against them from every direction,” says the Lord. “Hazor will become a permanent wasteland, a place where only jackals live. No one will live there. No human being will settle in it.” 34Early in the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah, the Lord spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about Elam. 35The Lord who rules over all said, “I will kill all the archers of Elam, who are the chief source of her military might.
