What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Cyril of Alexandria
The prophet expounds on the destiny of those in Israel who believed in Christ, because Israel did not perish completely, as the remnant of Israel was saved, according to the prophecy. Quite a number of people believed in Christ, and his apostles were, so to speak, the first fruit. Therefore at that time the Lord of hosts will be as a crown of hope and a diadem of glory to the remnant of his people. …
Western Saints
Jerome
On that day, the Lord of hosts will be a crown of glory and a diadem of rejoicing to the remnant of his people, and a spirit of judgment to the one who sits in judgment, and strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate. But these also reel because of wine and stagger because of strong drink: priest and prophet reel because of strong drink, they are swallowed up by wine, they stagger because of strong drink; they reel while having visions, they totter when rendering judgment. …
Thomas Aquinas
636. Third, he sets out the glory of the just, namely, of the just of the two tribes: in that day, namely, in the time of Ezechias, when the ten tribes had been destroyed; as to three things. As to the joy of the people, a crown, which is of gold or silver, in contrast to the crown of pride; a garland, of flowers, in contrast to the fading flower, below: and I will give them a crown for ashes (Isa 61:3).
