Lamentaciones 2:3 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 2:3

He hath cut off in [his] fierce anger all the horn of Israel,
&c.] All its power and strength, especially its kingly power, which is often signified by a horn in Scripture; see ( Daniel 7:24 ) ; this the Lord took away in his fierce anger, and left the land destitute of all relief, help, defence and protection; whether from its king and princes, or from its men of war or fortified places; all being cut off and destroyed: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy;
either his own right hand, with which he had used to fight for his people, and protect them, but now withdrawing it, left them to the mercy of their enemies; or Israel's right hand, which he so weakened, that they had no power to resist the enemy, and defend themselves: and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire [which] devoureth round
about;
that is, his wrath was like a burning flaming fire, which consumes all around, wherever it comes; thus the Lord in his anger consumed Jacob, and left neither root nor branch.

Lamentaciones 2:3 In-Context

1 ¡Cómo ha anublado, en su ira, el Señor a la hija de Sion! Ha arrojado del cielo a la tierra la gloria de Israel, y no se ha acordado del estrado de sus pies en el día de su ira.
2 El Señor ha devorado, no ha perdonado ninguna de las moradas de Jacob. Ha derribado en su furor las fortalezas de la hija de Judá, las ha echado por tierra; ha profanado al reino y a sus príncipes.
3 Ha exterminado en el ardor de su ira todas las fuerzas de Israel; ha echado atrás su diestra en presencia del enemigo; y se ha encendido en Jacob como llamas de fuego devorando todo en derredor.
4 Ha entesado su arco como enemigo, ha afirmado su diestra como adversario y ha matado todo lo que era agradable a la vista; en la tienda de la hija de Sion ha derramado su furor como fuego.
5 Se ha vuelto el Señor como enemigo: ha devorado a Israel, ha devorado todos sus palacios, ha destruido sus fortalezas y ha multiplicado en la hija de Judá el lamento y el duelo.
