Joel 1:15

Listen to Joel 1:15
15 ¡Ay del día! Porque cercano está el día del SEÑOR, y vendrá como destrucción hecha por el Todopoderoso.

Joel 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

Joel 1:15

Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord [is] at hand
A time of severer and heavier judgments than these of the locusts, caterpillars which were a presage and emblem of greater ones, even of the total destruction of their city, temple, and nation, either by the Chaldeans, or by the Romans, or both: and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come;
unawares, suddenly, and irresistibly: there is in the Hebrew text an elegant play on words, which may be rendered, as "wasting from the waster", or "destruction from the destroyer, shall it come" F24; even from the almighty God, who is able to save and destroy, and none can deliver out of his hands; see ( Isaiah 13:6 ) ; the word signifies one powerful and victorious, as Aben Ezra observes; and so it does in the Arabic language.

Joel 1:15 In-Context

13 Ceñíos y lamentad, sacerdotes; aullad, ministros del altar; venid, dormid en cilicio, ministros de mi Dios; porque quitado es de la Casa de vuestro Dios el presente y la libación.
14 Pregonad ayuno, llamad a congregación; congregad a los ancianos y a todos los moradores de la tierra en la Casa del SEÑOR vuestro Dios, y clamad al SEÑOR.
15 ¡Ay del día! Porque cercano está el día del SEÑOR, y vendrá como destrucción hecha por el Todopoderoso.
16 ¿No es quitado el mantenimiento de delante de nuestros ojos, la alegría y el placer de la Casa de nuestro Dios?
17 La semilla se pudrió debajo de sus terrones, los alfolíes fueron asolados y destruidos; porque se secó el trigo.
