What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
"Do not be bent down under a chain and fall among the slain. His rage is not turned away, but his hand is still stretched out." And finally, just as he had often said against Samaria in the previous episodes: In all these things his anger is not turned away, but still his hand is stretched out, even against Judah, because there is no end to their evil (or malice); even in the enemy territory of the Lord, the sword pursues them. …
Thomas Aquinas
Second, he expresses the manner of punishment, and first, the punishment of captivity: that you be not bowed down under, above: and the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled (Isa 2:17); second, of killing: and fall with the slain: all of them slain, fallen by the sword (Ezek 32:24). In all these things. Here the preparation of further punishment is set out: this is explained as above.
