Gill's Exposition on Joel 2:26

And ye shall eat in plenty,.... Or, "in eating eat" (n); most surely eat, and in great abundance; which Hebraism not only denotes the certainty of a thing, but the increase and abundance of it; see

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joel 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.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Joel 2:26

Ye shall eat; enjoy and live upon. In plenty; not with scarcity, as when water is measured to them, and bread is given by weight, . Be satisfied; the broad they eat shall refresh them, maintain their strength, not be as that . Praise the name; ascribe the glory to the mercy and faithfulness, to the power and wisdom, of your God; ye shall speak of it to his praise, stop the months of insulting heathens. The Lord your God: see . Dealt wondrously; in one year giving as much as the locusts wasted in the years foregoing, whether three, or four, or more. My people; you that are my people, demeaning yourselves as becometh my people. Shall never be ashamed; neither disappointed of your hopes, nor refused when you pray, nor necessitated to seek relief among the heathen, who will reproach you and me.

Trapp's Commentary on Joel 2:26

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 Haggai 1:6 Ecclesiastes 6:1-2. 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, Deuteronomy 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, Romans 5:5.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Joel 2:26

Verse 26. Praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you] In so destroying this formidable enemy; and so miraculously restoring the land to fertility, after so great a devastation.

Cambridge Bible on Joel 2:26

26. and praise, &c.] In acknowledgment of His bounty: cf. (of the Canaanites) Judges 9:27 (R.V. marg.). shall never be ashamed] or disappointed (on Joe 1:11),—being worthy of, and accordingly receiving, the protection of their God (cf. Isa. 29:29, Isaiah 49:23, Isaiah 50:7, Psalms 22:5; Psalms 25:3).

Barnes' Notes on Joel 2:26

And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied - It is of the punishment of God, when people eat and are not satisfied (see Hosea 4:10); it is man’s sin, that they are satisfied, and do not to praise

Whedon's Commentary on Joel 2:26

26. As a result of the bountiful restoration, the Jews will recognize Jehovah as their God and praise him for his divine interposition.
