Lam. 2:9 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Lam. 2:8      Lam. 2:10

Lamentations 2:9

Her gates sink into the ground,
he has destroyed and broken her bars.
Her king and princes are among the Gentiles (scattered in other countries),
there is no teaching (Hebr. Torah) anymore.
Her [Jerusalem's] prophets no longer receive
any visions from the Lord (Yahweh).
[The ninth Hebrew letter is: ט – Tet. The character depicts a head and a tail and represents either a snake in a basket or a person bowing in humility. Paradoxically, the letter can symbolize both evil and good – either rebellion or goodness. In this verse, the word "descends" begins with this letter, reinforcing the complete defeat when everything that existed when God himself was with them in the temple is gone.]
