Contextual Overview

28The Message on Kedar and the sheikdoms of Hazor who were attacked by Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. This is God 's Message: "On your feet! Attack Kedar! Plunder the Bedouin nomads from the east. Grab their blankets and pots and pans. Steal their camels. Traumatize them, shouting, ‘Terror! Death! Doom! Danger everywhere!' Oh, run for your lives, You nomads from Hazor." God 's Decree. "Find a safe place to hide. Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has plans to wipe you out, to go after you with a vengeance: ‘After them,' he says. ‘Go after these relaxed nomads who live free and easy in the desert, Who live in the open with no doors to lock, who live off by themselves.' Their camels are there for the taking, their herds and flocks, easy picking. I'll scatter them to the four winds, these defenseless nomads on the fringes of the desert. I'll bring terror from every direction. They won't know what hit them." God 's Decree. "Jackals will take over the camps of Hazor, camps abandoned to wind and sand. No one will live there, no mortal soul move in there."

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.
