Lam. 2:3 in context

Lam. 2:2      Lam. 2:4

Lamentations 2:3

In burning anger, he has cut off
all the horns of Israel [horns symbolize power].
He has withdrawn his right arm
in front of the enemy. [God no longer protects from the enemy.]
He has set Jacob ablaze like a flaming fire
that consumes and devours everything around it.
[The third Hebrew letter is: ג – Gimel. The character depicts a camel. It often symbolizes endurance; a camel walks through the desert in heat and cold, regardless of circumstances, holding its head high and moving forward. The first word in Hebrew is "cut off." This means that when God removes His protection, the source of our ability to remain steadfast and upright in circumstances disappears; the very driving force behind us has been cut off, severed.]
