Contextual Overview

28 This message is about the tribe of Kedar and the rulers of Hazor. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated them. This is what the Lord says: "Go and attack the tribe of Kedar. Destroy the people of the East. 29 Their tents and flocks will be taken away. Their tents and all their riches will be carried off. Their enemy will take away the camels. Men will shout this to them: ‘Terrible things are happening all around us.' 30 Run away quickly! People in Hazor, find a good place to hide." This message is from the Lord . "Nebuchadnezzar has made plans against you. He thought of a smart plan to defeat you. 31 "There is a nation that feels so safe and secure that it does not have gates or fences to protect it. And no one lives near enough to help them. So attack that nation!" says the Lord . 32 "Their camels are there to be taken in battle. Their large herds of cattle will be yours. I will scatter them throughout the earth—those people who cut their hair short. I will bring disaster on them from every direction." This message is from the Lord . 33 "Hazor will become a home for wild dogs, an empty desert forever. No one will live there. No one will stay in that place."

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.
