Bible Commentary

Joel 3:9-17

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

After a parenthesis of five verses, viz. 4-8, detailing the injurious treatment of the Jews by some of the surrounding nations, and the righteous retribution visited on those nations, the prophet resumes the subject broached at the beginning of the chapter, especially in Joel 3:2, about the judgment to be visited on the nations in general.

The verses now before us describe very graphically the execution of that judgment.
