What the Fathers say

Isaiah 22:17

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

Third, he threatens a threefold punishment: behold the Lord. First, of subjugation: as a cock, which raises chicks like a hen, being castrated, called a capon, is carried away, bound, and without struggle; and he will lift you up and as a garment, easily lifted over the shoulder: you Phassur, and all that dwell in your house, shall go into captivity, and you shall go to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you and all your friends (Jer 20:6).
