Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
Be . . . ashamed—that is, Ye shall have the shame of disappointment on account of the failure of "the wheat" and "barley . . . harvest."
howl . . . vine dressers—The semicolon should follow, as it is the "husbandmen" who are to be "ashamed . . . for the wheat." The reason for the "vine dressers" being called to "howl" does not come till Joel 1:12, "The vine is dried up."
