For this is what the sovereign master has told me: "Within exactly one year all the splendor of Kedar will come to an end.

Just a handful of archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be left." Indeed, the Lord God of Israel has spoken.

Let the desert and its cities shout out, the towns where the nomads of Kedar live! Let the residents of Sela shout joyfully; let them shout loudly from the mountaintops.

All the sheep of Kedar will be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth will be available to you as sacrifices. They will go up on my altar acceptably, and I will bestow honor on my majestic temple.
