Isaiah 16:8

The lords, etc.] RM 'her choice plants did break down the lords of nations,' alluding to the strength of the wine of Sibmah.

Principal] RV 'choice.' Are come.. through.. are stretched out, they are gone over] RV 'reached.. into.. were spread abroad, they passed.' The words describe the area over which the cultivation of the vine extended in Moab, but which is now desolate; or perhaps the language used in this v. may be used figuratively to express the wide extent of Moabite influence: cp. Psalms 80:8, etc.
