Exegesis
The negative clause velo hayah bah {וְלֹא־הָ֥יָה בָ֛הּ | və-lō hā-yā(h) bā(h)} ‘and there was not in her’ emphasizes the absence of authority.
In context — Ezekiel 19:14
And fire went out from a rod among her branches ; it consumed her fruit, and in her there remained no staff of strength or scepter to govern. This is a lamentation , and it has become a lamentation.
