Jerome, on Isa 57:18

Jerome · c. A.D. 347–420
Isa 57:18 · Douay-Rheims
“I saw his ways, and I healed him, and brought him back, and restored comforts to him, and to them that mourn for him.”
On this verse:
“I saw his ways and healed him; I led him and gave him comfort to him and to those who mourned for him. LXX: I saw his ways, and healed him: and I comforted him and gave him true consolation. Therefore, seeing the ways of his conversion, I healed the wounds with which I had previously struck him. And I brought him back to me, whom I had previously expelled, and I gave him true consolation. For many consolations are false, by which the human race is deceived. Whether I have comforted his mourners, saying in the Gospel: Blessed are the mourners, for they will be comforted (Matthew 5:5).”
