Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joel 1:9

_ _ The greatest sorrow to the mind of a religious Jew, and what ought to impress the whole nation with a sense of God’s displeasure, is the cessation of the usual temple-worship.

_ _ meat offeringHebrew, mincha; “meat” not in the English sense “flesh,” but the unbloody offering made of flour, oil, and frankincense. As it and the drink offering or libation poured out accompanied every sacrificial flesh offering, the latter is included, though not specified, as being also “cut off,” owing to there being no food left for man or beast.

_ _ priests ... mourn — not for their own loss of sacrificial perquisites (Numbers 18:8-15), but because they can no longer offer the appointed offerings to Jehovah, to whom they minister.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joel 1:8-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joel 1:9

The drink — offering — By the destruction of the vines, all wine (out of which they ought to offer the drink — offering) failed.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Joel 1:9

The meat offering and the drink offering is (f) cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.

(f) The signs of God's wrath appeared in his temple, in so much that God's service was discontinued.
