6 The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians,
6 You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks in order to remove them far from their own border.
6 You sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem into slavery to the Greeks in faraway places.
6 Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem You have sold to the Greeks, That you may remove them far from their borders.
6 You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, so they could take them far from their homeland.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joel 3:6
Commentary on Joel 3:1-8
(Read Joel 3:1-8)
The restoration of the Jews, and the final victory of true religion over all opposers, appear to be here foretold. The contempt and scorn with which the Jews have often been treated as a people, and the little value set upon them, are noticed. None ever hardened his heart against God or his church, and prospered long.
