4 »Ahora bien, Tiro y Sidón, y regiones todas de Filistea, ¿qué tienen en contra mía? ¿Quieren acaso vengarse de mí? Si es así, yo haré que muy pronto recaiga sobre ustedes su propia venganza,

Joel 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.

Joel 3:4 In-Context

2 reuniré a todas las nacionesy las haré bajar al valle de Josafat.Allí entraré en juicio contra los pueblosen cuanto a mi propiedad, mi pueblo Israel,pues lo dispersaron entre las nacionesy se repartieron mi tierra.

3 Se repartieron a mi pueblo echando suertes,cambiaron a niños por prostitutasy, para emborracharse,vendieron niñas por vino.

4 »Ahora bien, Tiro y Sidón, y regiones todas de Filistea, ¿qué tienen en contra mía? ¿Quieren acaso vengarse de mí? Si es así, yo haré que muy pronto recaiga sobre ustedes su propia venganza,

5 pues se robaron mi oro y mi plata, y se llevaron a sus templos mis valiosos tesoros.

6 A los griegos les vendieron el pueblo de Jerusalén y de Judá, para alejarlos de su tierra.
