What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Cyril of Alexandria
You recognize the one who gives you joy to drink and wine in addition, anointing those in spiritual Zion with myrrh. You recognize that he is true God and Son of God by nature, and although he appeared in the form of a servant, by becoming man he became the source of salvation and life for all, being in all things like those on earth though without sin. …
Western Saints
Jerome
And they will say on that day: Behold, our God, we have waited for him, and he will save us; this is the Lord, we have endured him, we will rejoice and be glad in his salvation. For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain; and Moab shall be crushed under him, as straw is crushed on a threshing floor. And he will stretch out his hands under him, as a swimmer stretches out to swim, and his glory will be humbled with the buffeting of his hands. …
Thomas Aquinas
And he sets out the thanksgiving, and they shall say, we have endured for him, patiently waiting: you that fear the Lord, endure for his mercy (Sir 2:7). And he sets out the reason: for the hand of the Lord, with which nothing evil can exist: this is my rest for ever and ever (Ps 131:14). 591. Third, as to the oppression of their enemies, namely, the Moabites, who were most hostile to them because of dreams. And first, he sets out their affliction: threshed: they have threshed Galaad with iron wains (Amos 1:3).
