SCRIPTURE

"Flee ye, wander far off, dwell in the depths, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jehovah; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you." — Jeremiah 49:30 (ASV)

Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O you 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 has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you: had determined upon their destruction, and has 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 they could, and hide themselves in the caverns of the earth.
