What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Cyril of Alexandria
This means that he is teaching here about the ones who were swarming and absorbing it, those who had taken it over. For almost like wild beasts they had reduced and absorbed it. He shows here that the number of those called are so many that they are without number. For his children, it says, that you have lost have pleaded in your ear, "Make room for me."
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
And he shows that it will be filled with inhabitants: for your deserts, as to inhabitants, and your desolate places, as to those who cultivate the land, and the land of your destruction, as to the walls that were destroyed: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls (Zech 2:4); and he shows that it will be emptied of enemies: they that swallowed you up shall be chased far away.
