Geneva Bible Notes (1560)

⁰ The Prophet Joel first rebuketh them of Judah, that being now punished with a great palgue of famine, reamine stil bostinate. Secondly he threateneth greater plagues, because they grewe daily to a more harnenes of heart, & rebellion against God notwithstanding his punishments. Thirdly, he exhorteth them to repentance, shewing that it must be earnest, and proced from the heart because they had grieuously offended God. And so doing, he promiseth, that God wil be merciful, & not forget his couenant that he made with their fathers: but wil send his Christ who shal gather the scattered shepe, and restore them to life, and liberite, thogh they semed to be dead.
