Joel2:26

and praiſe the Name of the Lord your God,] Not haunch up Gods creatures, as ſwine do ſwill: but, taſting the ſweetneſſe of the Creatour in them, lift up many an humble, joyfull, and thankfull heart to Him.

and my people ſhall never be aſhamed] As they have been among the heathen ver. 19. and as thoſe are that pray to no purpoſe. Deo confiſi nunquam confuſi. Their faith is unfained, and therefore their hopes unfaileable Rom. 5.5.
