What the Fathers say

Isaiah 47:9

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

Suddenly, unexpectedly, above: the destruction thereof shall come on a sudden, when it is not looked for (Isa 30:13): give them, O Lord, a womb without children (Hos 9:14). Third, the multitude of their sorceries: all things. And he sets out three things. First, the sorceries by which they increased: the multitude of your sorceries, for they abounded in arts of this kind there: let there not be among you anyone who consults diviners (Deut 18:11).
