Joel 2:18 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Then, when you follow my advice, saith Joel. and heartily you of your sins, and turn to God, &c., will the Lord be jealous, will show his love and zeal, for the credit of his land, the land of Canaan, and pity his people; consider their prayers, their arguments, and tears, and upon the whole will deal so with them that they shall know I do own them for my people, and that I will do them good.
