Discovery BoxJoel 1:12 
Context1:12 The vine has dried up;
the fig tree languishes –
the pomegranate, date, and apple 1 as well.
In fact, 2 all the trees of the field have dried up.
Indeed, the joy of the people 3 has dried up!
Joel 2:19
Context2:19 The Lord responded 4 to his people,
“Look! I am about to restore your grain 5
as well as fresh wine and olive oil.
You will be fully satisfied. 6
I will never again make you an object of mockery among the nations.
1 tn This Hebrew word וְתַפּוּחַ (vÿtappuakh) probably refers to the apple tree (so most English versions), but other suggestions that scholars have offered include the apricot, citron, or quince.
2 tn These words are not in the Hebrew text but are supplied in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “the sons of man.”
4 tn Heb “answered and said.”
5 tn Heb “Look! I am sending grain to you.” The participle used in the Hebrew text seems to suggest imminent action.
6 tc One of the Qumran manuscripts (4QXXIIc) inserts “and you will eat” before “and you will be fully satisfied” (the reading of the MT, LXX).
