What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Ver. 20. His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 59. This man, if whilst placed in this life he had been willing to open his eyes to his sin, would not hereafter 'drink of the wrath of the Almighty.' But he that here turns away his eyes from the sight of his guilt, cannot there avoid the sentence of condemnation. But often those that do not fear eternal punishments, at all events on account of temporal chastening are afraid to do what is bad. …
Thomas Aquinas
So he says, "His eyes will see their destruction," in the destruction of his sons or other kinds of adversity; and in this itself, "he will drink of the fury of the Almighty." For the punishment of the father is that his sons are punished while he lives, and not if they were punished after his death.
