What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
Lift up, lift up, arise, O Jerusalem, who have drunk from the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrath: you have drunk to the dregs the cup of sleep, and have drained it to the bottom. There is no one to support her among all the sons she has borne, and there is no one to take her by the hand among all the sons she has brought up. There are two things that have befallen you; who will grieve over you? devastation and destruction, famine and sword: who will comfort you? …
Thomas Aquinas
Third, he promises liberation from punishments: arise; and concerning this, he does two things: first, he shows their past affliction; second, he promises liberation. 936. Concerning the first, he does three things. First, he shows the sum of their punishment: you have drunk even to the bottom, as if to say, you have endured unto the last of your punishments; sleep, that is, death: in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture (Ps 74:9[74:8]).
