1 En aquel tiempo quedarán vivos tan pocos hombres, que siete mujeres se pelearán por cada uno de ellos y dirán: «¡Queremos casarnos contigo! Nosotras aportaremos nuestra comida y nuestra ropa, basta que nos dejes llevar tu apellido para que nadie se mofe de nosotras por ser solteronas». 2 Aquellos de quienes está escrito que escaparán a la destrucción de Jerusalén serán lavados y purificados de toda su inmundicia moral por medio de los horrores que pasarán y por el fuego. Constituirán el santo pueblo de Dios y la tierra les producirá la mayor abundancia y sus más ricos frutos. 5 Entonces el Señor dará sombra a toda Jerusalén, a cada hogar y a los sitios públicos. Les dará un dosel de humo y nube durante todo el día y nube de fuego por la noche, que cubran la Tierra Gloriosa 6 para protegerla del calor del día y de las lluvias y tormentas.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse.
