Joel 1:10 Meaning and Commentary

Joel 1:10

The field is wasted
By the locust, that eat up all green things, the grass and herbs, the fruit and leaves of trees; and also by the Chaldeans trampling on it with their horses, and the increase of which became fodder for them: the land mourneth;
being destitute, nothing growing upon it, and so looked dismally, and of a horrid aspect; or the inhabitants of it, for want of provision: for the corn is wasted;
by the locusts, and so by the Assyrian or Chaldean army, before it came to perfection: the new wine is dried up:
in the grape, through the drought after mentioned: or, "is ashamed" F18; not answering the expectations of men, who saw it in the cluster, promising much, but failed: the oil languisheth;
or "sickens" F19; the olive trees withered; the olives fell off, as the Targum, and so the oil failed: the corn, wine, and oil, are particularly mentioned, not only as being the chief support of human life, as Kimchi observes, and so the loss of them must be matter of lamentation to the people in general; but because of these the meat and drink offerings were, and therefore the priests in particular had reason to mourn.

8 Llora t煤 como joven vestida de cilicio por el marido de su juventud.
9 Pereci贸 el presente y la libaci贸n de la Casa del SE脩OR; los sacerdotes ministros del SE脩OR hicieron luto.
10 El campo fue destruido, se enlut贸 la tierra; porque el trigo fue destruido, se sec贸 el mosto, el aceite pereci贸.
11 Confund铆os, labradores; aullad, vi帽eros, por el trigo y la cebada; porque se perdi贸 la mies del campo.
12 Se sec贸 la vid, y pereci贸 la higuera; el granado tambi茅n, la palma, y el manzano; se secaron todos los 谩rboles del campo; por lo cual se sec贸 el gozo de los hijos de los hombres.
