Commentary

Commentary on Amos 5:2

Theological / Devotional

The virgin. This term is applied to Israel, despite her unfaithfulness to God, probably because she has been tenderly cared for by God and guarded by Him from enemies (see Isa. 23:12; Jer. 14:17; cf. Isa. 47:1).

No more rise. See on Hosea 4:17.
