What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
In the Lord, the mighty God forever: for He will bring down those who dwell on high; He will humble the lofty city and bring it down to the ground; He will cast it down to the dust. The feet shall trample it, the feet of the poor and the steps of the needy. LXX: O great and eternal God, who have humbled and cast down those who dwell on high, you will destroy strong cities and bring them down to the pavement, and their feet will be trampled by the meek and the humble. …
Thomas Aquinas
Third, he promises the benefit of peace for the destruction of enemies: for he shall bring down them that dwell on high, the high city he shall lay low. He shall bring it down even to the ground, he shall pull it down even to the dust. The Jews say this refers to the Romans, but it can refer to any of their enemies, or, mystically, to the Jews themselves, above: the bulwarks of your high walls shall fall (Isa 25:12).
