Amos9:8
8. eyes ... upon the sinful kingdom--that is, I am watching all its sinful course in order to punish it (compare Am 9:4; Psa 34:15, 16).
not utterly destroy the house of Jacob--Though as a "kingdom" the nation is now utterly to perish, a remnant is to be spared for "Jacob," their forefather's sake (compare Jr 30:11); to fulfil the covenant whereby "the seed of Israel" is hereafter to be "a nation for ever" (Jr 31:36).
