Lamentations 2:17

The Lord (Yahweh) has done what he planned;
he has fulfilled (carried out) his word (threat, promise – Hebr. emrah) [Deut. 28:45–50]
as he commanded in days of old (east),
he has overturned you [Jerusalem] without pity.
He has made it possible for your enemies to rejoice over you,
he has exalted the horn of your enemy.
[The horn is a symbol of power.]
[The sixteenth Hebrew letter is: ע – ayin. The character depicts an eye or a water source. It often symbolizes prophetic insight and revelation. Here, it is the word "has done" that begins with this letter. It emphasizes that what the Lord has determined must ultimately come to pass. Now his patience is at an end.
Here the word kedem is used for days of old. It actually means east, and in this direction lies both looking back and looking forward. To take stock of what has been and complete what needs to be finished, while looking ahead to new visions.]
