Contextual Overview

28Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck down. Thus says Yahweh,"Arise, go up to KedarAnd destroy the men of the east. 29They will take away their tents and their flocks;They will carry off for themselvesTheir tent curtains, all their goods, and their camels,And they will call out to one another, ‘Terror on every side!' 30Run away, flee earnestly! Inhabit the depths,O inhabitants of Hazor," declares Yahweh;"For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against youAnd purposed a purpose against you. 31Arise, go up against a nation which is at ease,Which inhabits its land securely," declares Yahweh."It has no gates or bars;They dwell alone. 32Their camels will become plunder,And their many cattle for spoil,And I will scatter to all the winds those who cut the corners of their hair;And I will bring their disaster from every side," declares Yahweh. 33"Hazor will become a haunt of jackals,A desolation forever;No one will inhabit there,Nor will a son of man sojourn in it."

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.
