John Trapp on Joel 3:13

Verſe 13. Put ye in the ſickle, for the harveſt is ripe] It even hangs for mowing, as we ſay: the enemies are ready ripe for ruine: down with them therefore that they may not ſhed in the field, and ſeed again: let this vally of deciſion be unto them a vally of exciſion: let it be as a wine-preſſe to thoſe bunches and branches of the grapes lopt off the vine. Lacus iſte locus coedis See Rev. 14.18, 19. Mat. 13.39. There is a ſtint ſet to mens ſins Gen. 15.16. Zech. 5.8, 11. Mat. 23.32. with the Note there. What more beautifull to behold then a field afore harveſt, then a vineyeard afore the vintage? and yet how ſudden an alteration, when workmen once take it in hand.

for the wickedneſſe is great] Here is that plainely, that before was expreſſed parabolically. The ſcripture oft expounds it ſelf in the ſame text: and is every where its own beſt Interpreter.
