What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
Behold, I have created the blacksmith who blows the coals in the fire, and brings forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the destroyer to destroy. Every weapon formed against you shall not prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from me, says the Lord. LXX: Behold, I have created you not as a blacksmith blowing the coals in the fire and bringing forth an instrument for work. …
Thomas Aquinas
Third, he promises the destruction of their enemies: behold, I. And first, he shows the power of the one who promises, setting out a similitude: I have created the smith, the persecutor, who blows in the fire of tribulation, instruments, adversaries, according to his own will: his breath kindles coals (Job 41:12); and he explains this: I have created the killer to destroy: the Lord kills and makes alive (1 Sam 2:6).
