Haydock's commentary

Recompenses. When the persecutors of Sion, that is, of the Church, shall receive their reward. (Challoner)

The Idumeans had frequently shown their ill-will towards the Jews, 2 Paralipomenon xxviii. 17., and Amos i. 11. (Calmet)

Sion shall perish as the wicked in hell shall be tormented. (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).
