I will weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, more than I weep for Jazer. Your tendrils have extended to the sea; they reach even to Jazer. The destroyer has descended on your summer fruit and grape harvest.

Traditional

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 fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.

Literal

With the weeping of Jazer do I weep for you, O vine of Sibmah! Your tendrils have gone out over the sea, as far as Jazer they reach; upon your summer fruit and upon your vintage the destroyer has fallen.

…de planctu Jazer plorabo tibi, vinea Sabama. Propagines tuæ transierunt mare; usque ad mare Jazer pervenerunt: super messem tuam et vindemiam tuam prædo irruit.

Notes

Jeremiah 48:32

The tribe of Reuben conquered and rebuilt Sibmah and Jazer (Numbers 32:3, 38; Joshua 13:19). They turned the high plateau east of the Dead Sea into vineyards.

Jeremiah 48:1–47

Moab, one of two nations descended from Abraham’s nephew Lot (Genesis 19:36–38), was the next nation judged in the Lord’s courtroom (compare Isaiah 15–16). Moab’s land was between the Arnon River and the Zered Brook, east of the Dead Sea. At that time, the Moabites felt confident because they were mostly safe from Babylonian military power. However, the Lord found the Moabites to be greedy and cruel, and their worship was violent and indulgent.

Jeremiah 48:1–49:6

The Lord ordered the destruction and future rebuilding of Moab and Ammon. These two nations came from Lot, who was Abraham's nephew (Genesis 19:36–38).
