Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joel 3:4

_ _ what have ye to do with me — Ye have no connection with Me (that is, with My people: God identifying Himself with Israel); I (that is, My people) have given you no cause of quarrel, why then do ye trouble Me (that is, My people)? (Compare the same phrase, Joshua 22:24; Judges 11:12; 2 Samuel 16:10; Matthew 8:29).

_ _ Tyre ... Zidon ... Palestine — (Amos 1:6, Amos 1:9).

_ _ if ye recompense me — If ye injure Me (My people), in revenge for fancied wrongs (Ezekiel 25:15-17), I will requite you in your own coin swiftly and speedily.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joel 3:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joel 3:4

Yea — Have I done you any wrong, which you avenge upon my people? Or do you begin to violate the laws of neighbourhood and friendship, and think to escape? Do ye think you have to do with a poor opprest people, my people, and I nothing concerned at it? Palestine — On which were towns of trade, and merchants that bought and sold these captives. A recompence — Have I or my people so dealt with you? And if — If you will deal thus, I will speedily avenge myself and my people of you.
