14. The prophet in vision seeing the immense array of nations
congregating, exclaims, "Multitudes, multitudes!" a Hebraism for
immense multitudes.
valley of decision--that is, the valley in which they are to meet their
"determined doom." The same as "the valley of Jehoshaphat," that is,
"the valley of judgment"
(see on
Joe 3:2).
Compare
Joe 3:12,
"there will I sit to judge," which confirms English Version
rather than Margin, "threshing." The repetition of "valley of
decision" heightens the effect and pronounces the awful
certainty of their doom.
