What the Fathers say

Isaiah 14:7

Western Saints

Jerome

For the destruction of the impious king, who struck the nations with an incurable wound and cruelly pursued them, all the earth has rested and become silent, which previously was full of turmoil and sedition.

Commentary on Isaiah ↗

Thomas Aquinas

Second, it contains the ensuing peace: the whole earth is quiet, ceasing from that tumult, and still, ceasing from weeping, it is glad, in your destruction, and has rejoiced, in its liberation: the just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge (Ps 58:10).
