Flee, get you farre off (they haue consulted to dwell) O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord: for Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel hath taken counsell against you, and hath deuised a purpose against you.
Flee, bemoan mightily, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor — an affirmation of Jehovah, For given counsel against you hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Yea, he deviseth against them a device.
Flee! Wander far off! Dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor,” says the LORD; “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.

Context — Judgment on Kedar and Hazor
28Concerning Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon defeated, this is what the LORD says: “Rise up, advance against Kedar, and destroy the people of the east!
29They will take their tents and flocks, their tent curtains and all their goods. They will take their camels for themselves. They will shout to them: ‘Terror is on every side!’
30Run! Escape quickly! Lie low, O residents of Hazor,” declares the LORD, “for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has drawn up a plan against you; he has devised a strategy against you.
31Rise up, advance against a nation at ease, one that dwells securely,” declares the LORD. “They have no gates or bars; they live alone. 32Their camels will become plunder, and their large herds will be spoil. I will scatter to the wind in every direction those who shave their temples; I will bring calamity on them from all sides,” declares the LORD.Cross References

Jeremiah 49:30 Summary
This verse is saying that God is warning the people of Hazor to run away and hide because the king of Babylon is planning to attack them. God is showing His power and control over all nations, just like He said in Jeremiah 27:5-7. We can learn from this that God is always in control, even when things seem scary or uncertain, and that He wants us to trust in Him and seek His guidance, as seen in Psalm 23:4 and Isaiah 41:10.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does God tell the residents of Hazor to run and escape quickly?
God tells the residents of Hazor to run and escape quickly because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has drawn up a plan against them, and God wants to warn them of the impending danger, as seen in Jeremiah 49:30, similar to how He warned His people in Deuteronomy 32:23-25.
What is the significance of Nebuchadnezzar's plan against Hazor?
Nebuchadnezzar's plan against Hazor is significant because it shows God's sovereignty over all nations, as stated in Daniel 4:17, and how He can use any nation to accomplish His will, as seen in Isaiah 10:5-6.

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 49:30
Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the Lord,.... The same is said to the inhabitants of Dedan, [See comments on Jeremiah 49:8]; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 49:30
Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:30
The words seem to be the prophet’ s words of advice to this people, to make all the haste they could away, and to secure themselves as well as they could, because the king of Babylon had certainly been taking counsel against them, and was resolved to disturb them. See , where the like counsel is given to the Edomites.
Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:30
Jeremiah 49:30 Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.Ver. 30. Flee, get you far off.] See on Jeremiah 49:8.
Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:30
(30) Dwell deep.—See Note on Jeremiah 49:8. The dwellers in the villages of Hazor are told, as those of Dedan had been, to flee into the furthest recesses of the wilderness. The words probably point to the time after the battle of Carchemish, when Nebuchadnezzar established his sovereignty over the lower Euphrates, Northern Arabia, and the Syrian desert.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:30
Verse 30. Dwell deep] Retire into the depths of the desert. See on Jeremiah 49:8. Inhabitants of Hazor] I cannot find this place. It was no doubt in Arabia, and a place of considerable importance; but it is now no more.
Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 49:30
30. dwell deep] See on Jeremiah 49:8, whence the expression may be borrowed. It is less suitable to the wandering tribes of Bedawin here addressed.
Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 49:30
A purpose against you - Others read “against them” (the wealthy nation, Jeremiah 49:31).
Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 49:30
30. Dwell deep — See on Jeremiah 49:8.
