Joel 2:27 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

And ye, who repent, pray, are blessed with such answer to your prayers, shall know; by experience shall see, and acknowledge. That I am in the midst of Israel; my true Israel, obedient Israel; I am with them to bless them, defend them, guide them, and provide for them. That I am the Lord; the almighty and everlasting God. Your God, as I was the God of your father Abraham; yours in peculiar manner by covenant, and to redeem you from evil. And none else; that there is not a god beside me, that the idols you formerly doted upon were no gods, that the idols the heathen boast of are a doctrine of lies, and deceive them that trust on them. My people shall never be ashamed: see Joel 2:26.
