Amos 5:2

Amos announced that the virgin Israel, in the prime of her beauty and vigor, had fallen fatally. "Fallen" in funeral songs usually means "fallen in battle" (cf. 2 Samuel 1:19; 2 Samuel 1:25; 2 Samuel 1:27; 2 Samuel 3:34; Lamentations 2:21). She would never rise to her former position again. No one came to her aid, even Yahweh (cf. Judges 6:13; 2 Kings 21:14; Isaiah 2:6). She lay forsaken in her land.
