Jeremiah 49:31

Jeremiah 49:31

29 Their ^atents and their flocks they shall take away.
They shall take for themselves their curtains,
All their vessels and their camels;
And they shall cry out to them,
^b‘Fear is on every side!’

30 “Flee, get far away! Dwell in the depths,
O inhabitants of Hazor!” says the Lord.
“For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you,
And has conceived a plan against you.

31 “Arise, go up to ^athe wealthy nation that dwells securely,” says the Lord,
“Which has neither gates nor bars,
^bDwelling alone.

32 Their camels shall be for booty,
And the multitude of their cattle for plunder.
I will ^ascatter to all winds those in the farthest corners,
And I will bring their calamity from all its sides,” says the Lord.

33 “Hazor ^ashall be a dwelling for jackals, a desolation forever;
No one shall reside there,
Nor son of man dwell in it.”

neither gates nor bars—The Arabs, lying out of the track of the contending powers of Asia and Africa, took no measures of defense and had neither walled cities nor gates (Ezekiel 38:11). They thought their scanty resources and wilderness position would tempt no foe.

alone—separated from other nations, without allies; and from one another scattered asunder. So as to Israel's isolation (Numbers 23:9; Deuteronomy 33:28; Micah 7:14).
