The lamentation follows in Amos 5:2, showing itself to be a song by the rhythm and by its poetical form. נפל, to fall, denotes a violent death ( 2 Samuel 1:19 , 2 Samuel 1:25 ), and is here a figure used to denote the overthrow or destruction of the kingdom.

In Amos 5:2, the prophet declares that Israel has "fallen" but is "not forsaken." This statement captures the paradoxical relationship between God and His people. It suggests that despite Israel's transgressions and the consequences of her actions, God has not abandoned her.
The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up ( Amos 5:2).

This is to deny the whole body of scripture.
