John Calvin's Commentary
on Joel.
 | "...it is yet our duty to learn from the
Prophets what has always been the actual mode of proceeding among
the people of God, and to labour as much as we can, that this may be
known, so that when there shall come an occasion for a public
repentance, even the most ignorant may understand that this practice
has ever prevailed in the Church of God, and that it did not prevail
through inconsiderate zeal of men, but through the will of God
himself." |
|
| From the Geneva Notes.
| "Mortify your affections and
serve God with pureness of heart, and not with ceremonies." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "It is the work of ministers to
warn of the fatal consequences of sin, and to reveal the wrath from
heaven against the ungodliness and unrighteousness of men." |
|
| From
Wesley's Notes.
| "And repenteth him - He
turneth from executing the fierceness of his wrath." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "Let there be the inward sorrow
of heart, and not the mere outward manifestation of it by 'rending
the garment'." |

"Letting
the 'Bi-word' 'Rule' in Joel 2:17," James R. Linville, Journal of
Hebrew Scriptures, 2005.
| "The impasse between the two roots in Joel 2:17 can be
solved by recognizing a double entendre or even identifying
משׁל
as a “pivot” word. This polysemy has a role in the
rhetoric of the passage and in the overall complexity and richness of
Joel’s imagery." |
