Jeremiah48:32
32 O vine of Sibmah , I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer ; thy plants are gone over the sea , they reach even to the sea of Jazer , the spoiler is faln upon thy summer fruits, and upon thy vintage.
We read of this Vine of Sibmah also Isa. 16.8, 9. both Si[illegible: 1 letter] mah, and Iahaza were places in the portion of Reuben, Ios. 13.18, 19. Sibmah was doubtless a place famous in those dayes for Vines, and Vineyards.
This Iahaza or Iazer was as it should seem first taken, and carried into captivity, which caused a great Lamentation. The Prophet foretells such a weeping for Sibmah, as was for Iazer.
By plants he means the Inhabitants of Sibmah, which he prophesieth should be carried into captivity over the dead Sea.
As an Aggravation of the Judgment that should come upon them, God by his Prophets tell them that the spoiler should come upon them in their Vintage and harvest time.
