Joel 1:18
_ _ cattle ... perplexed — implying the restless gestures of the dumb beasts in their inability to find food. There is a tacit contrast between the sense of the brute creation and the insensibility of the people.
_ _ yea, the ... sheep — Even the sheep, which are content with less rich pasturage, cannot find food.
_ _ are made desolate — literally, “suffer punishment.” The innocent brute shares the “punishment” of guilty man (Exodus 12:29; Jonah 3:7; Jonah 4:11). |
