George Leo Haydock, on Tob 13:11

“Jerusalem, city of God, the Lord hath chastised thee for the works of thy hands.”

“Jerusalem. What is prophetically delivered here, and in the following chapter, with relation to Jerusalem, is partly to be understood of the rebuilding the city after the captivity, and partly of the spiritual Jerusalem, which is the Church of Christ, and the eternal Jerusalem in heaven. (Challoner) — It would seem that Jerusalem and the temple were now destroyed, which is contrary to chronology, as Manasses had not yet began to reign, (Calmet) and Tobias died when he had been on the throne fifty-two years. (Houbigant) — But the Greek shews that (Calmet) he speaks prophetically: (Worthington) “Jerusalem, holy city, He will chastise thee for the works of thy children, and again he will shew mercy on the children of the just. Confess to the Lord, for he is good; and bless the king of ages, that his tabernacle may be again rebuilt in thee, with joy.” (Haydock) — The Hebrew of Munster had only a few verses of this and the following chapter. (Calmet)”
