Heard “HORN IN THE DUST”
Job 16:15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust
Defiled my horn in the dust - The horn was an emblem of power; and the metaphor was originally taken from beasts, such as the urus, wild ox, buffalo, or perhaps the rhinoceros, who were perceived to have so much power in their horns. Hence a horn was frequently worn on crowns and helmets. Defiling or rolling the horn in the dust, signifies the disgrace or destruction of power, authority, and eminence.
Psa 18:2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my *God, my rock, in whom I will trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Saw horn in the dust with cross on it, despised, cast down. Sackcloth background
