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.
