Amos 7:5-7

New International Version

⁵ Then I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!^(A)”

⁶ So the Lord relented.^(B)

“This will not happen either,” the Sovereign Lord said.^(C)

⁷ This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb,^[a] with a plumb line^[b] in his hand.
