What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Whence Jeremiah also says: "You will render to them their recompense, O Lord, according to the works of their hands; You will give them as a shield for the heart Your labor." For lest the darts of preaching should penetrate their hearts, since they disdained the labor of His passion, they held that same labor of His as if it were a shield, so that by the very fact that they saw Him labor even unto death, they would not permit His words to pass through to them.
Thomas Aquinas
Vindication from adversaries is here sought. This is due to a security from prayers heard, and vindication considered. Such is also from their foretelling, than their praying. "Thou wilt requite them, O Lord, according to the work of their hands." Namely, as to their penalties. For, Psalm 28:4 states: "Requite them according to their work, and according to the evil of their deeds."
