Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Amos 5:2

_ _ virgin of Israel — the Israelite state heretofore unsubdued by foreigners. Compare Isaiah 23:12; Jeremiah 18:13; Jeremiah 31:4, Jeremiah 31:21; Lamentations 2:13; may be interpreted, Thou who wast once the “virgin daughter of Zion.” Rather, “virgin” as applied to a state implies its beauty, and the delights on which it prides itself, its luxuries, power, and wealth [Calvin].

_ _ no more rise — in the existing order of things: in the Messianic dispensation it is to rise again, according to many prophecies. Compare 2 Kings 6:23; 2 Kings 24:7, for the restricted sense of “no more.”

_ _ forsaken upon her land — or, “prostrated upon,” etc. (compare Ezekiel 29:5; Ezekiel 32:4) [Maurer].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Amos 5:1-3.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Amos 5:2

The virgin — So she was, when first espoused to God. Upon her land — Broken to pieces upon her own land, and so left as a broken vessel.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Amos 5:2

The (a) virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; [there is] none to raise her up.

(a) He so calls them, because they so boasted of themselves, or because they were given to lustfulness and daintiness.
