What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Jerome
Therefore Moab shall wail unto Moab, every one shall wail: to them that rejoice on the walls of the cooked brick, speak concerning his wounds. Therefore Moab shall howl unto Moab, that is to say, one shall cry out against another: all the diversities, of heretics and of secular wisdom, shall roar against themselves, when they shall be in torments (III Kings VI). …
Thomas Aquinas
Here he sets out the punishment of those who hold the counsel in contempt. And first, the weeping of those to be punished: shall Moab howl to Moab, that is, to each other, about which enough is said above (ch. 15). Second, he describes the manner of punishment: to them that rejoice; and he sets out three things. First, the announcement of the punishment is proclaimed by prophets or messengers: them that rejoice, they glory and trust in the fortifications of their brick walls: if the watchman see the sword coming (Ezek 33:6).
