In Hebrew, the word for "weep" is "בָּכָה" (bakah), which conveys a profound sense of mourning and emotional distress. This weeping is not just a personal expression but a divine empathy, as Jeremiah, speaking on behalf of God, shares in the grief over the impending judgment on Moab. It underscores the compassionate nature of God, who takes no pleasure in the suffering of His creation, even when it is a consequence of their own actions.O vine of Sibmah The "vine of Sibmah" refers to a region known for its fertile vineyards, located in Moab. Historically, Sibmah was renowned for its wine production, which was a significant part of the economy and culture of Moab. The vine symbolizes prosperity and abundance, and its mention here highlights what will be lost due to the coming destruction. The Hebrew root "שֶׂמֶב" (semeb) for "vine" emphasizes the richness and fruitfulness that will be mourned.more than I weep for Jazer Jazer was another city in the region of Gilead, known for its lush pastures and vineyards. The comparison "more than I weep for Jazer" indicates the greater devastation that will befall Sibmah. The Hebrew name "יַעְזֵר" (Ya'zer) suggests a place of help or assistance, which is ironic given the impending helplessness in the face of destruction. This comparison serves to amplify the severity of the judgment on Sibmah.Your branches have spread as far as the sea The imagery of branches spreading "as far as the sea" illustrates the extensive reach and influence of Sibmah's vineyards. In Hebrew, "branches" is "שְׁרָשִׁים" (sherashim), which can also mean roots, indicating a deep and widespread impact. The "sea" likely refers to the Dead Sea, suggesting that the prosperity of Sibmah was well-known and far-reaching. This expansive growth now becomes a poignant reminder of what will be lost.they reached to the sea of Jazer The repetition of "sea" in "they reached to the sea of Jazer" emphasizes the vastness of the vineyards' influence. The "sea of Jazer" could refer to a body of water near the city, symbolizing the full extent of Moab's agricultural success. This phrase underscores the completeness of the impending devastation, as even the most prosperous and far-reaching areas will not be spared.The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruit and grape harvest The "destroyer" represents the invading forces, likely the Babylonians, who will bring ruin to Moab. The Hebrew word "שָׁדַד" (shadad) for "destroyer" conveys a sense of violence and desolation. The "summer fruit and grape harvest" symbolize the peak of Moab's agricultural productivity and wealth. The destruction of these signifies not only economic loss but also the end of a season of abundance and joy. This serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the fleeting nature of earthly prosperity.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/48.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(32) O vine of Sibmah.--Here again we have an echo of <a href="/isaiah/16-9.htm" title="Therefore I will mourn with the weeping of Jazer the vine of Sibmah: I will water you with my tears, O Heshbon, and Elealeh: for the shouting for your summer fruits and for your harvest is fallen.">Isaiah 16:9</a>. Sibmah appears in <a href="/joshua/13-19.htm" title="And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,">Joshua 13:19</a> as assigned to the Reubenites, in the region east of Jordan. After that date it does not appear again till we find it in these prophetic notices. Jerome (Comm. in Isa. Jeremiah 5) names it as a strong city about half a mile from Heshbon, but its site has not been identified by modern travellers. It would appear from these notices to have been famous for vineyards that extended to Jazer. The city so named, identified with the modern Es Szir, had belonged to the Amorites (<a href="/numbers/21-32.htm" title="And Moses sent to spy out Jaazer, and they took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites that were there.">Numbers 21:32</a>, there spelt Jaazer), and lay between Heshbon and Bashan, about fifteen miles north of the former city. It passed afterwards into the possession of the Gadites (<a href="/joshua/13-25.htm" title="And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer that is before Rabbah;">Joshua 13:25</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/24-5.htm" title="And they passed over Jordan, and pitched in Aroer, on the right side of the city that lies in the middle of the river of Gad, and toward Jazer:">2Samuel 24:5</a>), and was evidently, when the two prophets wrote, in that of the Moabites. The phrase "weeping of Jazer" implies that it was to share in the desolation of Sibmah. The "sea of Jazer" (if the text is right, the LXX. giving "city") must have been some inland lake or pond, which has not since been identified. The "sea" of the parallel passage of <a href="/isaiah/16-8.htm" title="For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah: the lords of the heathen have broken down the principal plants thereof, they are come even to Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.">Isaiah 16:8</a> is commonly interpreted of the Dead Sea. The "summer fruits" were the figs and pomegranates which were commonly cultivated together with the vine. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/48.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 32. - Shortened from <a href="/isaiah/16-8.htm">Isaiah 16:8, 9</a>. With the weeping of Jaser; rather, more than the weeping of Jazer. This may mean either "more than I weep for Jazer" (which is favoured by the insertion of "for thee") or more than Jazer weeps" (for the devastated vineyards of Sibmah); comp. Isaiah, l.c. The site of Jazer is placed by Seetzen between Ramoth (Salt) and Heshbon, where some ruins called Sir are now found. "Sibmah," according to St. Jerome, was not more than half a mile from Heshbon. King Mesha is thought to refer to it under the form Seran, miswritten for Seban (Sebam - so the form should be read - is an Old Testament version of the name; see <a href="/numbers/32-3.htm">Numbers 32:3</a>); see inscription on Moabite Stone, line 13. It appears to have been famous for its vineyards; and Seetzen tolls us that grapes and raisins of specially good quality are still carried from the neighbouring Salt to Jerusalem. Thy plants are gone over the sea; rather, thy shoots passed over the sea. The prophet here describes the extensive range of these vines. The northern limit of their culture was Jazer, its southern or western file further shore of "the sea," i.e. the Dead Sea. By a touch of poetic hyperbole the prophet traces the excellence of vines such as those of En-gedi (on the western bank of the Dead Sea) to a Moabitish origin. The reference to the sea of Jazer throws the whole passage into confusion. There is no lake or large pool at present to be found at Jazer, and the simplest explanation is that a scribe repeated the word "sea" by mistake. The true text will then be simply," they reached unto Jazer." The spoiler. <a href="/isaiah/16-9.htm">Isaiah 16:9</a> has the more picturesque expression, "the shouting," i.e. the wild battlecry. <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>I will weep for you, אֶבְכֶּה־ (’eḇ·keh-) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1058.htm">Strong's 1058: </a> To weep, to bemoan O vine הַגֶּ֣פֶן (hag·ge·p̄en) Article | Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1612.htm">Strong's 1612: </a> A vine, the grape of Sibmah, שִׂבְמָ֔ה (śiḇ·māh) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7643.htm">Strong's 7643: </a> Sibmah -- a place in Moab more than I weep מִבְּכִ֨י (mib·bə·ḵî) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1065.htm">Strong's 1065: </a> A weeping, a dripping for Jazer. יַעְזֵ֤ר (ya‘·zêr) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3270.htm">Strong's 3270: </a> Jazer -- a place East of the Jordan Your tendrils נְטִֽישֹׁתַ֙יִךְ֙ (nə·ṭî·šō·ṯa·yiḵ) Noun - feminine plural construct | second person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5189.htm">Strong's 5189: </a> A twig, tendril have extended עָ֣בְרוּ (‘ā·ḇə·rū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5674.htm">Strong's 5674: </a> To pass over, through, or by, pass on to the sea; יָ֔ם (yām) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3220.htm">Strong's 3220: </a> A sea, the Mediterranean Sea, large river, an artifical basin they reach נָגָ֑עוּ (nā·ḡā·‘ū) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5060.htm">Strong's 5060: </a> To touch, lay the hand upon, to reach, violently, to strike [even] to עַ֛ד (‘aḏ) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5704.htm">Strong's 5704: </a> As far as, even to, up to, until, while Jazer. יַעְזֵ֖ר (ya‘·zêr) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3270.htm">Strong's 3270: </a> Jazer -- a place East of the Jordan The destroyer שֹׁדֵ֥ד (šō·ḏêḏ) Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7703.htm">Strong's 7703: </a> To deal violently with, despoil, devastate, ruin has fallen נָפָֽל׃ (nā·p̄āl) Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5307.htm">Strong's 5307: </a> To fall, lie on עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against your summer fruit קֵיצֵ֥ךְ (qê·ṣêḵ) Noun - masculine singular construct | second person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7019.htm">Strong's 7019: </a> To awake and grape harvest. בְּצִירֵ֖ךְ (bə·ṣî·rêḵ) Noun - masculine singular construct | second person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1210.htm">Strong's 1210: </a> Clipped, the grape crop <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/jeremiah/48-32.htm">Jeremiah 48:32 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/jeremiah/48-32.htm">OT Prophets: Jeremiah 48:32 With more than the weeping of Jazer (Jer.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/jeremiah/48-31.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Jeremiah 48:31"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 48:31" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/jeremiah/48-33.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Jeremiah 48:33"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Jeremiah 48:33" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
