Contextual Overview

28 This is what the Lord said about the tribe of Kedar and the districts controlled by Hazor, which were conquered by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia: "Attack the people of Kedar and destroy that tribe of eastern people! 29 Seize their tents and their flocks, their tent curtains and everything in their tents. Take their camels and tell the people, ‘Terror is all around you!' 30 "People of Hazor, I, the Lord , warn you to run far away and hide. King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia has plotted against you, and this is what he says, 31 ‘Come on! We'll attack those people that feel safe and secure! Their city has no gates or locks and is completely unprotected.' 32 "Take their camels and all their livestock! I will scatter in every direction those people who cut their hair short, and I will bring disaster on them from every side. 33 Hazor will be made a desert forever, a place where only jackals live. No one will ever live there again. 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.
