They will be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and will be shut up in the prison; and after many days they will be visited.

EXPLANATION

Verse 22. Visited. Hence Origen (Prin. iii. 6. and so forth) took occasion to assert, that the damned would one day be released, though the Scripture so often declares the contrary. The prophet speaks of the future liberation of the Jews; ( Calmet.) or he intimates that after many days, yea throughout eternity, the reprobate will still be punished. Menochius.
