Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joel 2:6

_ _ much pained — namely, with terror. The Arab proverb is, “More terrible than the locusts.”

_ _ faces shall gather blackness — (Isaiah 13:8; Jeremiah 30:6; Nahum 2:10). Maurer translates, “withdraw their brightness,” that is, wax pale, lose color (compare Joel 2:10; Joel 3:15).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joel 2:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joel 2:6

Blackness — Such as is the colour of dead men, or the dark paleness of men frightened into swoons.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Joel 2:6

Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces (e) shall gather blackness.

(e) They will be pale and black because of fear, as in (Nahum 2:10).
