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 dicen:«¿Cuándo pasará la fiesta de luna nuevapara que podamos vender grano,o el día de reposopara que pongamos a la venta el trigo?»Ustedes buscanachicar la mediday aumentar el precio,falsear las balanzas
6 y vender los deshechos del trigo,comprar al desvalido por dinero,y al necesitado, por un par de sandalias.
7 Jura el SEÑOR por el orgullo de Jacob: «Jamás olvidaré nada de lo que han hecho.
8 »¿Y con todo esto no temblará la tierra?¿No se enlutarán sus habitantes?Subirá la tierra entera como el Nilo;se agitará y bajará,como el río de Egipto.
9 »En aquel día —afirma el SEÑOR omnipotente—,»haré que el sol se ponga al mediodía,y que en pleno día la tierra se oscurezca.
