This is a demonstration of His love and care for them, and it shows that He is a God who desires to bless and provide for those who are His. As seen in Deuteronomy 8:3, the Lord provides for our physical needs, but He also desires to provide for our spiritual needs, giving us bread from heaven to satisfy our souls. By trusting in the Lord's provision, we can experience His love and care in a deeper way, just as the Israelites did when they received manna in the wilderness.]

Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: The

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Joel 2:19

Yea, or And, Heb. The Lord will answer; before it was he would pity, ; not as men many times pity and profess to have compassion for the miserable who cry to them, yet do nothing; but God will pity their case and hear their request, nay, grant their request and relieve them. And say; speak to and work for his people. Unto his people; his covenant, praying, repenting, and reforming people. Behold; what he doth for such a people shall be visible, remarkable, and such as they may observe. I will send you corn, and wine, and oil: fruitful seasons shall come when God sends them, his command to the heavens to pour down their sweet and fruitful influences shall certainly be obeyed; these must hear God, and then the earth shall hear the corn, and wine, and oil, as ,22. Ye shall be satisfied therewith; you shall have abundance to fill and satisfy you, that you may rejoice in your habitations and know no want. I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen; your heathen neighbours shall no more insult over you ny people, nor over The your God. Obey my prophet, turn from your sins, and I will do you all this good I promise, or you need and ask.

Trapp's Commentary on Joel 2:19

Joe 2:19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:Ver. 19. Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people] He will say it in answer to their prayers (see the note on Joe 2:18). Fear not, my people, that ye shall be a reproach among the heathen: Behold, I will send you] As a token of my love, and a pledge of better blessings; Corn, and wine, and oil] All that heart can wish or need require, a sufficiency of outward comforts, and (if not a superfluity, yet) an honest affluence, as Psalms 23:5-6, and boldness to conclude from temporals to spirituals, as there David doth; because bestowed in mercy and as an answer to prayer; for God never said to the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain (he scorns that), whether it be for Bona throni or Bona scabelli, as Austin distinguisheth, good things of this life or a better, upper springs or nether springs, though we ask but the one (as here) yet we shall have both. "Nay, take two," saith he, as once Naaman did to Gehazi; take thy back-burden, take even as much as thou canst bring faith to bear away. God deals with his servants as the prophet did with the Shunammite; when he bade her ask what she needed, and she found not what to ask, he sent for her again and makes her a free promise of that she most wanted and desired, a son, 2 Kings 4:16. So, often God is pleased to do for his servants exceeding abundantly above all that they ask or think. David asked but life of God, and he gave him "length of days for ever and ever," Psalms 21:4. This people prayed that God would not (for that turn) give his heritage a reproach among the heathen; and he graciously promiseth that he will never any more make them a reproach, &c. (so they continue penitent), for òåø here signifies perpetuity, as Mercer noteth, and not for a time only, as Lyra would have it.

Ellicott's Commentary on Joel 2:19
