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 隆Ay, el SE脩OR ha eclipsado a la bella Si贸ncon la nube de su furor!Desde el cielo ech贸 por tierrael esplendor de Israel;en el d铆a de su ira se olvid贸del estrado de sus pies.
2 Sin compasi贸n el Se帽or ha destruidotodas las moradas de Jacob;en su furor ha derribadolos baluartes de la bella Jud谩y ha puesto su honra por los suelosal derrocar a su rey y a sus pr铆ncipes.
3 Dio rienda suelta a su furory deshizo todo el poder de Israel.Nos vimos frente al enemigo,y el Se帽or nos neg贸 su ayuda.Ardi贸 en Jacob como un fuego encendidoque consum铆a cuanto le rodeaba.
4 Como enemigo, tens贸 el arco;lista estaba su mano derecha.Como enemigo, elimin贸a nuestros seres queridos.Como fuego, derram贸 su irasobre las tiendas de la bella Si贸n.
5 El Se帽or se porta como enemigo:ha destruido a Israel.Ha destruido todos sus palaciosy derribado sus baluartes.Ha multiplicado el luto y los lamentospor la bella Jud谩.
