22 Do not fear, beasts of the field, For the 1pastures of the wilderness have turned green, For the tree has borne its fruit, The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full.
23 So rejoice, O 2sons of Zion, And 3be glad in the LORD your God; For He has 4given you the early rain for your vindication. And He has poured down for you the rain, The early and 5latter rain as before.
24 The threshing floors will be full of grain, And the vats will 6overflow with the new wine and oil.
25 "Then I will make up to you for the years That the swarming 7locust has eaten, The creeping locust, the stripping locust and the gnawing locust, My great army which I sent among you.
26 "You will have plenty to 8eat and be satisfied And 9praise the name of the LORD your God, Who has 10dealt wondrously with you; Then My people will 11never * be put to shame.
27 "Thus you will 12know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that I am the LORD your God, And there is 13no other; And My people will never * be 14put to shame.

The Promise of the Spirit

28 "15It will come about after this That I will 16pour out My Spirit on all 17mankind; And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions.
29 "Even on the 18male and female servants * I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

The Day of the LORD

30 "I will 19display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke.
31 "The 20sun will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before the 21great and awesome day of the LORD comes.
32 "And it will come about that 22whoever * calls on the name of the LORD Will be delivered; For 23on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who 24escape, As the LORD has said, Even among the 25survivors whom the LORD calls.

Joel 2:22-32 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOEL 2

In this chapter a further account is given of the judgment of the locusts and caterpillars, or of those who are designed by them, Joe 2:1-11; the people of the Jews are called to repentance, humiliation, and fasting, urged from the grace and goodness of God, his jealousy and pity for his people, and the answer of prayer that might he expected from him upon this, even to the removal of the calamity, Joe 2:12-20; a prophecy of good things, both temporal and spiritual, in the times of the Messiah, is delivered out as matter and occasion of great joy, Joe 2:21-27; and another concerning the effusion of the Spirit, which was fulfilled an the day of Pentecost, Joe 2:28-29; and the chapter is concluded with the judgments and desolations that should come upon the land of Judea after this, for their rejection of Christ, though the remnant according to the election of grace should be delivered and saved from the general destruction, Joe 2:30-32.
