“You shall know
That I am
In the midst
Of Israel.
I,
Yahweh,
Am your God.
There is no other.
My people
Shall never again
Be put to shame.”
Yahweh, via Joel, proclaimed that he was in the midst of Israel. There was no other God for them. He, Yahweh, was their God, no one else. They, his people, would never again be put to shame. These are strong statements.
