“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 unto Jazer, they wandered through the wilderness: her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea.”
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 unto Jazzer, and wandered through the wilderness; her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea—the devastation of Moab's agricultural resources, with the vines trampled by conquering armies. The spread of destruction even to far regions suggests the scope of the invasion. This verse emphasizes the destruction of agricultural wealth.
