Gioele 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

Joel 3:4

Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all
the coasts of Palestine?
&c.] The Tyrians, Zidonians, and Philistines, were near neighbours of the Jews, and implacable enemies to them; and are here put for the enemies of the true church of Christ, the Papists and Turks, and in whose possession those places now are: these are addressed by the Lord, inquiring or demanding the reason of their ill usage of him and his people: "what have ye to do with me?" to be called by my name, or accounted my people? I know you not, nor will I have any fellowship with you: or what have ye to do with my people, to disturb and distress them? what wrong have I or they done you, that you thus use them? will ye render me a recompence?
for turning you out of your land, and putting my people into it? do you think to retaliate this? and if ye recompense me;
by doing an injury to my people: swiftly [and] speedily will I return your recompence upon your own
head;
bring swift and sudden destruction upon you.

Gioele 3:4 In-Context

2 io radunerò tutte le nazioni, e le farò scendere nella valle di Giosafat; e verrò quivi a giudicio con esse, per lo mio popolo, e per Israele, mia eredità; il quale essi hanno disperso fra le genti, ed hanno spartito il mio paese.
3 Ed han tratta la sorte sopra il mio popolo, ed han dato un fanciullo per una meretrice, e venduta una fanciulla per del vino che hanno bevuto.
4 Ed anche, che mi siete voi, o Tiro, e Sidon, e tutte le contrade della Palestina? mi fareste voi pagamento? mi ricompensereste voi? tosto e prestamente, io vi renderò la vostra retribuzione in sul capo.
5 Perciocchè voi avete predato il mio oro e il mio argento; ed avete portato dentro i vostri tempii il meglio, e il più bello delle mie cose preziose.
6 Ed avete venduti i figliuoli di Giuda, e i figliuoli di Gerusalemme, a’ figliuoli de’ Greci, per allontanarli dalla lor contrada.
