This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joe_2:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Ver. 26. And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied] Which, what a great blessing it is, see Hag_1:6 Ecc_6:1-2. {See Trapp on "Hag_1:6"} {See Trapp on "Ecc_6:1"} {See Trapp on "Ecc_6:2"}
And praise the name of the Lord your God] Not haunch up God’s creatures, as swine do swill, but tasting the sweetness of the Creator in them, lift up many a humble, joyful, and thankful heart to him. This was better than the former blessing, for naturally fulness breeds forgetfulness of God, Deu_32:15.
That hath dealt wondrously with you] Heb. ad mirificandum, sc. in so sudden and strange a change of his hand, whereby he hath made himself marvellous, as he delights to do by working wonders, such as man’s power cannot perform, nor reason reach unto.
And my people shall never be ashamed] As they have been among the heathen, Joe_2:19, and as those are that pray to no purpose. Deo confisi nunquam confusi. Their faith is unfeigned, and therefore their hopes unfailable, Rom_5:5.
