What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
On that day, her fortified cities will be abandoned like plowed fields and empty after the harvest. They will become a wasteland, just like the cities of the Israelites that were abandoned before them. This prophecy is not against Damascus, but against the ten tribes known as Israel. …
Thomas Aquinas
In that day. Here he threatens the desolation of their cities, and first, he threatens the desolation itself: as the ploughs. This touches on what is found in Joshua 6 and 7, how the Amorrhites fled at the coming of the sons of Israel, leaving behind everything in the fields, above: your land is desolate, your cities are burnt with fire (Isa 1:7).
