Jeremiah 49:30

49:30 The Lord says, ¹  “Flee quickly, you who live in Hazor. ² 

Take up refuge in remote places. ³ 

For King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has laid out plans to attack you.

He has formed his strategy on how to defeat you.” ⁴ 

Jeremiah 49:33

49:33 “Hazor will become a permanent wasteland,

a place where only jackals live. ⁵ 

No one will live there.

No human being will settle in it.” ⁶
