Lamentations 2:3
Since the horn is the symbol of power, the cutting off of every horn means the depriving Israel of all power of resistance. The drawing back of God' s right hand signifies the withdrawal of that special Providence which used to protect the chosen people.
And he burned ... - Or, "and" he kindled a fire in Jacob: as the active enemy of "Jacob," Himself applying the torch.
