These are their generations. The firstborn of Ishmael: Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These, the sons of Ishmael.

and Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you; the rams of Nebajoth shall minister to you. They shall come up on My altar and be acceptable to Me, and I will glorify the house of My glory.

Woe is me, that I have sojourned in Meshech, that I have dwelt in the tents of Kedar!

I am black, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

For Jehovah has said to me, Within a year, according to the year of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail;

and the rest of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished; for Jehovah the God of Israel, has spoken.

Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages where Kedar dwells. Let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the mountain tops.
