What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
Why have you made us err, O Lord, from your ways: you have hardened our heart, so that we would not fear you? Turn again for the sake of your servants, the tribes of your inheritance. Your holy people have possessed nothing: our enemies have trampled upon your sanctuary. We have become like in the beginning: when you did not rule over us, neither was your name invoked upon us. LXX: Why have you led us astray, O Lord, from your holy way: you have hardened our hearts, so that we would not fear you? …
Thomas Aquinas
Second, he sets out their misery as to slavery: they have possessed your holy people as nothing, that is, without resistance, above: O Lord our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us (Isa 26:13); as to the profanation of their holy places: our enemies have trodden down your sanctuary: the holy places are come into the hands of strangers (1 Macc 2:8).
