Joel 2:26

2:26 You will have plenty to eat,

and your hunger will be fully satisfied; ¹ 

you will praise the name of the Lord your God,

who has acted wondrously in your behalf.

My people will never again be put to shame.

Joel 3:19

3:19 Egypt will be desolate

and Edom will be a desolate wilderness,

because of the violence they did to the people of Judah, ² 

in whose land they shed innocent blood.

[2:26]  ¹ tn Heb “you will surely eat and be satisfied.”

[3:19]  ² tn Heb “violence of the sons of Judah.” The phrase “of the sons of Judah” is an objective genitive (cf. KJV “the violence against the children of Judah”; NAB, NIV, NRSV “violence done to the people of Judah”). It refers to injustices committed against the Judeans, not violence that the Judeans themselves had committed against others.
