Joël 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.

Joël 3:4 In-Context

2 Je rassemblerai toutes les nations, Et je les ferai descendre dans la vallée de Josaphat; Là, j'entrerai en jugement avec elles, Au sujet de mon peuple, d'Israël, mon héritage, Qu'elles ont dispersé parmi les nations, Et au sujet de mon pays qu'elles se sont partagé.
3 Ils ont tiré mon peuple au sort; Ils ont donné le jeune garçon pour une prostituée, Ils ont vendu la jeune fille pour du vin, et ils ont bu.
4 Que me voulez-vous, Tyr et Sidon, Et vous tous, districts des Philistins? Voulez-vous tirer vengeance de moi? Si vous voulez vous venger, Je ferai bien vite retomber votre vengeance sur vos tĂȘtes.
5 Vous avez pris mon argent mon or; Et ce que j'avais de plus précieux et de plus beau, Vous l'avez emporté dans vos temples.
6 Vous avez vendu les enfants de Juda et de Jérusalem aux enfants de Javan, Afin de les éloigner de leur territoire.
