Isaiah 34:8 For it is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of recompenses of the judgment of Sion.

Recompenses. When the persecutors of Sion, that is, of the Church, shall receive their reward. (Challoner) --- The Idumeans had frequently shown their ill-will towards the Jews, 2 Paralipomenon 28:17., and Amos 1:11. (Calmet) --- Sion shall perish as the wicked in hell shall be tormented. (Worthington)
