Haydock's commentary
On verses 2 to 3
Ammon. These nations were punished five years after the Jews, chap. xxi. 19., and Jeremias xxvii. 3. (Calmet)
"Egypt, Syria, Phœnicia, and Arabia," were conquered. (Berosus)
Hast. God saw their dispositions, which they manifested afterwards. (Calmet)
They rejoiced most, and were therefore punished with other nations. (Worthington)
Where a note speaks of the Jewish people, the Church teaches that the Passion cannot be charged against all the Jews then living, nor against the Jews of today, and that all sinners were its authors (CCC 597, 598).
