Jeremiah 49:30 ESV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 49:28-33

These verses foretell the desolation that Nebuchadnezzar and his forces should make among the people of Kedar (who descended from Kedar the son of Ishmael, and inhabited a part of Arabia the Stony), and of the kingdoms, the petty principalities, of Hazor, that joined to them, who perhaps were originally Canaanites, of the kingdom of Hazor, in the north of Canaan, which had Jabin for its king, but, being driven thence, settled in the deserts of Arabia and associated themselves with the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:30

Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor , saith the Lord ,.... The same is said to the inhabitants of Dedan; see Gill on Jeremiah 49:8 ; 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... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:30

Dwell deep - Retire into the depths of the desert. See on Jeremiah 49:8 ; (note). 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. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 49:30

Verse 30 Jeremiah continues here the same subject, but more clearly expresses what he had said, Flee, he says, depart far away What follows I read as a parenthesis, Deep have they made to dwell, the inhabitants of Hazor Then Jeremiah proceeds with his subject, because consulted against you has Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, etc. He then bids them to flee to a distance, because Nebuchadnezzar had resolved to destroy them. By counsel and thought or purpose, the Prophet means the secret... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 49:28-33

Against the nomad and partly settled Arabs—the former described under the name Kedar (see on Jeremiah 2:10 ), the latter under that of Hazor (connected with hazer, an unwalled village; comp. Le Jeremiah 25:31 ). This use of Hazer is remarkable; elsewhere the name denotes towns in Palestine ( Joshua 11:1 ; Joshua 15:23 ; Nehemiah 11:33 ). There are two plainly marked strophes, Jeremiah 49:28-30 and Jeremiah 49:31-33 , both beginning with a summons to the foe to take the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 49:30

The prophet turns to the Arabs in villages who have still more to tempt the cupidity of plunderers, and urges them to flee while there is still time. Dwell deep (see on Jeremiah 49:8 ). Against you. This is the reading of the Septuagint (Alex. MS .), the Targum, the Vulgate, and many extant Hebrew manuscripts. The received text, however, has "against them." Such alternations of person have met us again and again, and there is no occasion to doubt the ordinary reading. read more

Jeremiah 49:30-33 . Flee ye, get you far off Hebrew, נדו מאד ; Vulgate, Abite vehementer, Go away with eagerness, or, haste. Dwell deep, or, “retire deep for to dwell:” see note on Jeremiah 49:8. Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation The prophet here gives the Chaldeans a commission from God to undertake this expedition, and seize upon the wealth of the inhabitants of Hazor; which have neither gates nor bars Who have never been attacked, and therefore live securely without walls... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 49:28-33

A message concerning Kedar (49:28-33)Even the wandering tribes of the desert will suffer from the Babylonian invasions. The particular tribe that Jeremiah mentions is Kedar, which occupied a region known as Hazor. The people of Kedar lived in tents, kept flocks of sheep, and were shrewd traders (Psalms 120:5; Isaiah 60:7; Ezekiel 27:21). Jeremiah announces that their settlements will be wrecked, their animals will be taken, and they themselves will flee in terror (28-30).At the same time the... read more
