What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
You will not have the fellowship of a putrid corpse nor be buried with them. For you have destroyed your land and killed your people. LXX: Just as a garment mixed with blood cannot be clean, neither will you be clean, for you have destroyed my land and killed my people. Because there is a significant difference between the Hebrew and LXX translations, let us discuss them separately. Like a putrid corpse, or as Aquila translated, trampled, you will not have the fellowship of burial, nor even with those whom you have killed. …
Thomas Aquinas
Second, as to its perpetual solitude: it shall no more be inhabited: him that bends his bow shall not live there, and him that is armed with a coat of mail shall not go up (Jer 51:3). Third, as to the horror of its solitude, which is shown by the flight of shepherds: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, who do not have fixed houses, but wander through the desert, nor shall shepherds of sheep.
