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

And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, [and] a desolation for ever,.... The city of Hazor, as well as the kingdoms of it; the royal city, where their king and principal men dwelt; even this should be no more inhabited by men, but by dragons, and the wild beasts of the field, and so remain for ever, at least a long time; see Isaiah 13:20;

there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it: signifying the utter desolation of it; Isaiah 13:20- :.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Dragons - i. e., jackals.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 49:33. Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons — Shall be turned into a wilderness.

A desolation for ever — Never to be re-peopled.

There shalt no man abide there — It may occasionally be visited, but never made a permanent abode.
