Jerome

Commentary on Isaiah (420)

(Verse 7.) Did he strike him according to the blow of the one striking himself: or as he killed his killers, so was he killed? This place is understood in two ways. Either against Jerusalem, so that he may say that she was not struck by God in the same way that she struck Christ and his Apostles: or against the multitude of the Gentiles, so that the Apostles and apostolic men, despite being persecuted and shedding Christian blood, nevertheless had care for their salvation and reconciled them to God.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

If God find any thing amiss among them, he will lay them under the tokens of his displeasure for it. Judgment shall begin at the house of God, and those whom God has known of all the families of the earth he will punish in the first place.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

Has God punished His people as severely as He has those enemies whom He employed to chastise Israel? Israel, after trials, He will restore; Israel's enemies He will utterly destroy at last. the slaughter of them that are slain by him--rather, "Is Israel slain according to the slaughter of the enemy slain?" the slaughter wherewith the enemy is slain [MAURER].
