Bible Commentary for Joel 2:12

Wesley's Notes for Joel 2:12


2:10 The earth - A divine hyperbole. But this also may have a reference to the great day.

2:11 Utter his voice - Summon them in and encourage them as a general doth his soldiers. His army - Of locusts and insects, and of Chaldeans signified by these.

2:13 And repenteth him - He turneth from executing the fierceness of his wrath.

2:14 He will return - God doth not move from one place to another; but when he withholds his blessings, he is said to withdraw himself. And so when he gives out his blessing, he is said to return. And leave a blessing behind him - Cause the locusts to depart before they have eaten up all that is in the land.
