What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
And I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts: and I will destroy the name of Babylon, and the remnants, and the seed, and the offspring, says the Lord. And I will make it a possession for the hedgehog, and pools of water: and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, says the Lord of hosts. …
Thomas Aquinas
And I will rise up. Here the divine purpose to fulfill the prophecy is set out. And first, to destroy Babylon, as to the destruction of its men: against them, namely, the sons of Nabuchodonosor, I will destroy the name of Babylon, that is, the reputation of its power, the remains, his sons, and the offspring, his nephews and so forth: his seed shall not subsist, nor his offspring among his people (Job 18:19).
