‏ Joel 3:12-14

Verse 12. Let the heathen be wakened] The heathen shall be wakened.

The valley of Jehoshaphat] Any place where God may choose to display his judgments against his enemies.

Verse 13. Put ye in the sickle] The destruction of his enemies is represented here under the metaphor of reaping down the harvest; and of gathering the grapes, and treading them in the wine-presses.

Verse 14. Multitudes, multitudes] hamonim, hamonim, crowds upon crowds, in the valley of decision, or excision: the same as the valley of Jehoshaphat, the place where God is to execute judgment on his enemies.
