6 God gave in.
“All right, this won’t happen either,” God, my Master, said.

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.
