He hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which devoureth round about.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 2 of Lamentations. The withdrawal of divine strength and favor appears through intense military imagery. The Lord is portrayed as Jerusalem’s enemy within the context of judgment, a theological reversal that explains why no human defense could stop the calamity. The language insists that the tragedy was not accidental.

Er hat alle Hörner Israels in seinem grimmigen Zorn zerbrochen; er hat seine rechte Hand hinter sich gezogen, da der Feind kam, und hat in Jakob ein Feuer angesteckt, das umher verzehrt.
Cortó con el furor de su ira todo el cuerno de Israel; Hizo volver atrás su diestra delante del enemigo; Y encendiose en Jacob como llama de fuego que ha devorado en contorno.
En el ardor de su ira ha cortado todo cuerno de Israel. Ha retirado su mano derecha ante el enemigo y ha ardido en Jacob como una llama de fuego que devora cuanto la rodea.
Il a, dans son ardente colère, abattu toute la force d'Israël; Il a retiré sa droite en présence de l'ennemi; Il a allumé dans Jacob des flammes de feu, Qui dévorent de tous côtés.
Egli ha troncato, nell’ardor dell’ira, tutto il corno d’Israele; Egli ha ritratta indietro la sua destra d’innanzi al nemico; E si è appreso a Giacobbe, come il fuoco di una fiamma, Ed ha divorato d’ogn’intorno.
No furor da sua ira cortou toda a força de Israel; retirou para trás a sua destra de diante do inimigo; e ardeu contra Jacó, como labareda de fogo que consome em redor.
他發烈怒,砍斷 以色列 一切的角, 在仇敵面前收回右手。 他將 雅各 燒燬,如火焰四圍吞滅。
