What the Fathers say

Isaiah 14:6

Western Saints

Jerome

That struck the people in anger with a continual stroke, that ruled the nations in wrath with a relentless persecution. Whose blow could not be withstood, who even cruelly pursued those fleeing.

Commentary on Isaiah ↗

Thomas Aquinas

That struck the people in wrath with an incurable wound, that brought nations under in fury, that persecuted in a cruel manner: how is the hammer of the whole earth broken, and destroyed (Jer 50:32).
