Leander of Seville, on Isa 49:25
Leander of Seville · c. A.D. 534–600
Isa 49:25 · Douay-Rheims
“For thus saith the Lord: Yea verily, even the captivity shall be taken away from the strong: and that which was taken by the mighty, shall be delivered. But I will judge those that have judged thee, and thy children I will save.”
On this verse:
“Well may that ancient ravager [the devil] mourn that he has lost his prey, for we see it is fulfilled as we have heard it foretold by the prophet. "Yes," he said, "captives can be taken from a warrior and booty rescued from a tyrant." The peace of Christ has destroyed the wall of discord built by the devil, and the house that was divided into mutual slaughter is now joined by the cornerstone, which is Christ.”
