Yirmeyah 49:33 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 49:33

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 13:20-22 ) ; there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it:
signifying the utter desolation of it; (See Gill on Jeremiah 49:18).
