Joel 2:26 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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.

And my people shall never be ashamed - shall no longer endure the "reproach" of the pagan (Joel 2:17) (Maurer); or rather, 'shall not bear the shame of disappointed hopes,' as the farmers had heretofore (Joel 1:11). So spiritually, waiting on God, His people shall not have the shame of disappointment in their expectation from Him (Romans 9:33, "Behold I lay in Zion a stumbling-stone and a rock of offence, and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed"). They who have borne the transient shame of His cross shall escape the eternal shame of unbelievers.
