Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joel 1:13

_ _ Gird yourselves — namely, with sackcloth; as in Isaiah 32:11, the ellipsis is supplied (compare Jeremiah 4:8).

_ _ lament, ye priests — as it is your duty to set the example to others; also as the guilt was greater, and a greater scandal was occasioned, by your sin to the cause of God.

_ _ come — the Septuagint, “enter” the house of God (compare Joel 1:14).

_ _ lie all night in sackcloth — so Ahab (1 Kings 21:27).

_ _ ministers of my God — (1 Corinthians 9:13). Joel claims authority for his doctrine; it is in God’s name and by His mission I speak to you.

Joel 1:13

(h) Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.

(h) He shows that the only means to avoid God's wrath, and to have all things restored, is true repentance.
