Barnes's Joel 2:22 Bible Commentary
The reversal of the whole former sentence is continued up to man. The beasts of the field "groaned, were perplexed, cried" unto God; now they are bidden, "be not afraid;" before, "the pastures of the wilderness were devoured by fire;" now, they "spring" with fresh tender life; before, "the fig tree" was "withered, the vine languished;" now, they should "yield their strength, put out their full" vigor. For God was reconciled to His people; and all things served them, serving Him.
Wesley's Joel 2:22 Bible Commentary
2:22 Their strength - Bring forth as much as they are able to stand under.
