And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
Hazor is going to become a wasteland where only wild animals live, completely empty forever. No one will ever live there again, not a single person.
Some places get so destroyed they never bounce back, that's what's happening to Hazor.
📚 Historical Context
During the time of the prophet Jeremiah in the 6th century BC, God was using him to deliver warnings of judgment against various nations amid the rising power of the Babylonian Empire. Hazor, likely referring to a region or settlement associated with nomadic tribes in the Arabian desert, was prophesied to be completely destroyed and left as a permanent wasteland, reflecting God's sovereignty over all peoples. This prophecy aligned with historical events where Babylon, under Nebuchadnezzar, conquered and devastated such areas.
