Haydock's commentary
Which must be supplied in Hebrew. The Idumeans had been spared for a long time. But they shall not escape. (Chaldean, &c.) (Calmet)
The rites of the law could not purify, as the sacraments of Christ do. (St. Jerome)
God will cleanse his people, and will chastise the Ammonites, &c., who had injured them. Septuagint, "I will seek (or avenge) their blood, and will not pronounce innocent;" athooso. (Haydock)
Sion, in heaven, (Menochius) and in the tabernacles of the Catholic Church, from the beginning of the world unto eternity. (Haydock)
