Their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners [of their hair] cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, says Yahweh.

An Inescapable Judgment

The prophecy describes a judgment that is both complete and inescapable. Commentators highlight the imagery of being "scattered to all winds" like chaff and having "calamity... from every side." This wasn't just a raid where they lost their cattle and camels; it was a total uprooting and dispersal orchestrated by God, leaving no avenue for escape.
