Thomas Aquinas, on Isa 10:23

“For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, and an abridgment in the midst of all the land.”

“Second, he places the confirmation: for the Lord God of hosts shall make an end: with a flood that passes by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof (Nah 1:8); in the midst of all the land, that is, in Jerusalem, which is in the middle of the land: this is Jerusalem, I have set her in the midst of the nations, and the lands round about her (Ezek 5:5). Romans 9:27 interprets this as concerning the remnant of those to be saved; and the abridged word, as the Septuagint reads, is the word of the Gospel: on these two commandments depends the whole law and the prophets (Matt 22:40); or the Word incarnate.”
