Isaiah 16:8
_ _ fields — vine-fields (Deuteronomy 32:32).
_ _ vine of Sibmah — near Heshbon: namely, languishes.
_ _ lords of ... heathen — The heathen princes, the Assyrians, etc., who invaded Moab, destroyed his vines. So Jeremiah in the parallel place (Jeremiah 48:32, Jeremiah 48:33). Maurer thinks the following words require rather the rendering, “Its (the vine of Sibmah) shoots (the wines got from them) overpowered (by its generous flavor and potency) the lords of the nations” (Genesis 49:11, Genesis 49:12, Genesis 49:22).
_ _ come ... Jazer — They (the vine shoots) reached even to Jazer, fifteen miles from Heshbon.
_ _ wandered — They overran in wild luxuriance the wilderness of Arabia, encompassing Moab.
_ _ the sea — the Dead Sea; or else some lake near Jazer now dry; in Jeremiah 48:32 called “the sea of Jazer”; but see on Jeremiah 48:32 (Psalms 80:8-11). |
Isaiah 16:8
The lords — The Assyrians or Chaldeans, the great rulers of the eastern nations. Plants — The choicest vines.

They — The lords of the heathen are come as far as Jazer, which is the utmost border of Moab. Wandered — The Moabites fled for their lives, and wandered hither and thither in the wilderness of Moab. Branches — Her people, called plants before. Stretched — Driven from their own homes, and dispersed into several countries. The sea — Over the Dead — sea, which was the border of Moab. They were forced to flee out of their own country to save their lives. |
