Hazor will become a haunt for jackals
Hazor, a significant city in ancient Canaan, was known for its strategic location and influence. It was a major city in the northern kingdom of Israel and had been previously conquered by Joshua (Joshua 11:10-11). The reference to jackals indicates desolation and abandonment, as these animals are often associated with deserted places (Isaiah 34:13). This prophecy highlights the complete destruction and desolation that would come upon Hazor, emphasizing God's judgment against the nations surrounding Israel.

a desolation forever
The phrase "a desolation forever" underscores the permanence of Hazor's destruction. Historically, Hazor was rebuilt after its initial destruction by Joshua, but this prophecy indicates a future judgment that would leave it uninhabited indefinitely. This reflects the seriousness of God's judgment and serves as a warning to other nations. The use of "forever" is a common biblical hyperbole to stress the totality and completeness of the desolation (Jeremiah 25:12).

No one will dwell there
This phrase emphasizes the total abandonment of Hazor. In the ancient Near East, cities were often rebuilt after destruction, but this prophecy indicates that Hazor would not be resettled. This can be seen as a fulfillment of divine judgment, where the city would no longer serve as a place of habitation or influence. The absence of inhabitants signifies the complete removal of life and activity, aligning with other prophetic declarations of desolation (Isaiah 13:20).

no man will abide there
The repetition of the idea that no one will live in Hazor reinforces the certainty of its desolation. This mirrors other biblical prophecies where cities are left uninhabited due to divine judgment (Zephaniah 2:13-15). The phrase also serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the inevitable judgment that follows. It reflects the broader theme of divine retribution found throughout the prophetic books, where nations are held accountable for their actions against God's people.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Hazor
An ancient city mentioned in the Bible, known for its strategic location and significance in trade and military. In this context, it refers to a region in Arabia, not the more commonly known Hazor in Canaan.

Teaching Points
The Certainty of God's Judgment
God's pronouncements through His prophets are certain and will come to pass. Hazor's desolation serves as a reminder of the surety of divine judgment against sin.

The Consequences of Pride and Sin
Hazor's fate illustrates the consequences of pride and rebellion against God. It serves as a warning to nations and individuals to humble themselves before the Lord.

The Sovereignty of God Over Nations
This passage underscores God's sovereignty over all nations. He raises and brings down kingdoms according to His divine will and purpose.

The Call to Repentance
While the prophecy is about judgment, it also implicitly calls for repentance. Understanding the consequences of sin should lead us to seek God's mercy and forgiveness.

Hope in God's Restoration
Although the immediate context is judgment, the broader biblical account includes themes of restoration and hope for those who turn back to God.Verse 33. - The same fate predicted for Hazor as for Edom (ver. 18). Dragons; rather, jackals (see on Jeremiah 10:22).
