Commentary on Lamentations 2:3

Theological / Devotional

Horn. Frequently used as a symbol of strength, glory, or pride (see Deut. 33:17; Job 16:15; Ps. 75:4; Jer. 48:25; Amos 6:13).

Drawn back, for times past God’s protecting hand had been used in defense of His people (Ex. 6:6; Ps. 98:1-3). Now every restraint has been removed from the enemy (see Ps. 74:11).
