Jeremiah 48:33

"With more than the weeping of Jazer I will weep for you, vine of Sibmah. Your branches passed over the sea. They reached even to the sea of Jazer. The destroyer has fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage."

Key Reflection

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Winepresses -Rather, “wine-vats,” into which the wine runs from the presses. Their shouting shall be no shouting -The vintage shout is - silence. For the vines have been destroyed, and desolation reigns where once was the joyful cry of those who tread the grapes.
