TSK · Isaiah 16:8

Moses sent spies to reconnoiter Jaazer, and they captured its villages and dispossessed the Amorites who were there.

Atroth Shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah,

Kiriathaim, Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley,

O mountains of Gilboa, may there be no dew or rain on you, nor fields of grain offerings! For it was there that the shield of warriors was defiled; the shield of Saul lies neglected without oil.

The people of Heshbon and Elealeh cry out, their voices are heard as far away as Jahaz. For this reason Moab’s soldiers shout in distress; their courage wavers.

The new wine dries up, the vines shrivel up, all those who like to celebrate groan.

I will weep for the grapevines of Sibmah just like the town of Jazer weeps over them. Their branches once spread as far as the Dead Sea. They reached as far as the town of Jazer. The destroyer will ravage her fig, date, and grape crops.
