Commentary

Commentary on Amos 8:12

Theological / Devotional

Wander. Heb. nua‘, “to quiver,” “to wobble,” or “to move unsteadily.”

Even to the east. Some Bible scholars believe that the “south” is omitted from the directions indicated here because to the south of the northern kingdom of Israel, in the city of Jerusalem, was the true worship of God, which the apostates had rejected (see 1 Kings 12:26-33).

Run to and fro. Heb. shut, “rove about” (see on Dan. 12:4).
