<< Joel 1:19

Joel 2:1 >>

Joel 1:20

The beasts of the field cry also unto thee - Even the cattle, wild and tame, are represented as supplicating God to have mercy upon them, and send them provender! There is a similar affecting description of the effects of a drought in Jeremiah, Jeremiah 14:6.

The rivers of waters are dried up - There must have been a drought as well as a host of locusts; as some of these expressions seem to apply to the effects of intense heat.

For hammidbar , "the wilderness," one of my oldest MSS. reads midbar , "wilderness" simply, as in Jeremiah 14:19. Eight or ten of Dr. Kennicott' s have the same reading.
