15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.
15 The sun and moon will be darkened, and the stars no longer shine.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
15 "The sky turns black, sun and moon go dark, stars burn out.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark, And the stars will diminish their brightness.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will no longer shine.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joel 3:15
Commentary on Joel 3:9-17
(Read Joel 3:9-17)
Here is a challenge to all the enemies of God's people. There is no escaping God's judgments; hardened sinners, in that day of wrath, shall be cut off from all comfort and joy. Most of the prophets foretell the same final victory of the church of God over all that oppose it. To the wicked it will be a terrible day, but to the righteous it will be a joyful day. What cause have those who possess an interest in Christ, to glory in their Strength and their Redeemer! The acceptable year of the Lord, a day of such great favour to some, will be a day of remarkable vengeance to others: let every one that is out of Christ awake, and flee from the wrath to come.
