| NET Notes |
1 sn The word drunkards has a double edge here. Those accustomed to drinking too much must now lament the unavailability of wine. It also may hint that the people in general have become religiously inebriated and are unresponsive to the Lord. They are, as it were, drunkards from a spiritual standpoint. 2 sn Joel addresses the first of three groups particularly affected by the locust plague. In v. 5 he describes the effects on the drunkards, who no longer have a ready supply of intoxicating wine; in vv. 11-12 he describes the effects on the farmers, who have watched their labors come to naught because of the insect infestation; and in vv. 13-14 he describes the effects on the priests, who are no longer able to offer grain sacrifices and libations in the temple. 3 tn Heb “over the sweet wine, because it.” Cf. KJV, NIV, TEV, NLT “new wine.” 4 tn Heb “cut off” (so KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV); NAB “will be withheld.” 5 tn Heb “your mouth.” This is a synecdoche of part (the mouth) for whole (the person). |
