What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
What will the response be to the messages of the nation? Because the Lord has founded Zion, and in it the poor of his people will hope. Because it was said, there is no one who can escape his army, it seemed in the general sentiment that even Judah was included. Yes; he says, if the angels of the Assyrian nation inquire why only Judah escaped, answer them, because the Lord has founded Zion, and he has protected his humble people with his power. …
Thomas Aquinas
And what shall be answered. Here he promises liberation. And first, he sets out the inquiry: messengers, angels placed over the different provinces or asking anxiously of their state; or messengers sent to consult with Isaiah, like we read of in Jeremiah 37:3. Second, the response is set out: that the Lord has founded Zion, that is, he has strengthened it by his protection, below: behold I will lay your stones in order (Isa 54:11).
