What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
I say to the depths: be desolate, and I will dry up your rivers. LXX: I say to the abyss, you will be desolated, and I will dry up your rivers. Therefore, whoever says that Jerusalem, and Judah, and its deserts should be inhabited, and built, and restored, he is saying that Babylon, which is the deep or abyss, should be made desolate and your rivers should be dried up, along with all the power of kings. …
Thomas Aquinas
Second, as to the destruction of their enemies: who say to the deep, that is, the sea, namely, Babylon; thus, above: the burden of the desert of the sea (Isa 21:1), above: the water of the sea shall be dried up (Isa 19:5).
