Contextual Overview

28 Here is what the Lord says about the Kedar tribe and the desert villages that were conquered by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia: Listen, you people of Kedar and the other tribes of the eastern desert. I have told Nebuchadnezzar to attack and destroy you. 29 His fearsome army will surround you, taking your tents and possessions, your sheep and camels. 30 Run and hide, you people of the desert who live in villages! Nebuchadnezzar has big plans for you. 31 You have no city walls and no neighbors to help, yet you think you're safe— so I told him to attack. 32 Then your camels and large herds will be yours no longer. People of the Arabian Desert, disaster will strike you from every side, and you will be scattered everywhere on earth. 33 Only jackals will live where your villages once stood. I, the Lord , have spoken.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor,

saith the Lord,.... The same is said to the inhabitants of Dedan,

:-;

for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you: had determined upon their destruction, and had consulted and contrived ways and means to effect it; and therefore, since so powerful an enemy had such a design upon them, it was high time to flee, and get as far off as they could, and hide themselves in the caverns of the earth.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A purpose against you - Others read “against them” (the wealthy nation, Jeremiah 49:31).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 49:30. Dwell deep — Retire into the depths of the desert. See on Jeremiah 49:8.

Inhabitants of Hazor — I cannot find this place. It was no doubt in Arabia, and a place of considerable importance; but it is now no more.
