This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
We read of this
vine of Sibmah also Isa_16:8,9. Both Sibmah and Jahaza were places in the portion of Reuben, Jos_13:18,19. Sibmah was doubtless a place famous in those days for vines and vineyards. This Jahaza or
Jazer 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 Jazer. 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 prophet, tells them that the spoiler should come upon them in their vintage and harvest time.
