Amós 8:7 Meaning and Commentary

Amos 8:7

The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob
Not by the ark, as R. Japhet; nor by the temple, as Kimchi; but by himself; which sense Kimchi also mentions, and Aben Ezra; the God of Jacob and his glory, the most excellent of all Jacob's enjoyments, and of whom he had reason to boast and glory; see ( Amos 6:8 ) ; surely I will never forget any of their works;
their wicked works, especially those now mentioned; God forgets when he forgives them, or suffers them to go unpunished; but though he had done so long, he would do so no more; on which they might depend, since he had not only said it, but swore to it.

Amós 8:7 In-Context

5 Ustedes no se aguantan a que termine el día de descanso
y a que se acaben los festivales religiosos
para volver a estafar al desamparado.
Pesan el grano con medidas falsas
y estafan al comprador con balanzas fraudulentas.
6 Y el grano que venden lo mezclan
con los deshechos barridos del piso.
Por una moneda de plata o un par de sandalias,
convierten en esclavos a los pobres.
7 Ahora el Señor
ha hecho este juramento
por su propio nombre, el Orgullo de Israel:
«¡Nunca olvidaré
las cosas perversas que han hecho!
8 La tierra temblará a causa de sus acciones
y todos harán duelo.
La tierra subirá como el río Nilo en tiempo de inundaciones;
se levantará y volverá a hundirse.
9 »En aquel día —dice el Señor
Soberano—
haré que el sol se ponga al mediodía
y que en pleno día se oscurezca la tierra.
