There are many parallels of language between Joel and other Old Testament prophets. They may represent Joel's literary use of other prophets, or vice versa.

In the [[New Testament]], his prophecy of the outpouring of God's [[Holy Spirit (Judaism)|Holy Spirit]] upon all people was notably quoted by [[Saint Peter]] in his [[Pentecost]] sermon.<ref>{{bibleverse|Acts|2|NIV}}</ref>

Joel 3:10 / 4:10 is a variation of Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3's prophecy, "They will beat their [[swords to ploughshares|swords into plowshares]] and their spears into pruning hooks",<ref>Isaiah 2:4</ref> instead commanding, "Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears."<ref>Joel 3:10</ref>

The table below represents some of the more explicit quotes and allusions between specific passages in Joel and passages from the Old and New Testaments.
