Amos 7:5-7

New International Version - UK

⁵ Then I cried out, ‘Sovereign Lord, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!’

⁶ So the Lord relented.

‘This will not happen either,’ the Sovereign Lord said.

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.
