What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
The error of Moab has been destroyed; indeed, false joy has turned into mourning and tears. My belly, the prophet, who is composed like a lyre with musical skill, and who, conceived in the fear of God, has produced many children, so that there is no string that does not produce its sound, will resonate the lament of Moab, who is repenting: and all my bowels will be like a wall of baked bricks, as Theodotius interpreted it as a wall scattered. …
Thomas Aquinas
Third, the conclusion is inferred as from a proof: over this, misfortune, my bowels, that is, my senses, shall sound like a harp, making a sound for lamentation, or because the harp increases joy in the cheerful and sadness in the sad, or because of the harmony of the virtues of the prophet.
