Amos 7:7-9
New King James Version
Vision of the Plumb Line
7 Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand. 8 And the Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”
And I said, “A plumb line.”
Then the Lord said:
“Behold, (A)I am setting a plumb line
In the midst of My people Israel;
(B)I will not pass by them anymore.
9 (C)The [a]high places of Isaac shall be desolate,
And the [b]sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste.
(D)I will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam.”
