Amos 7:7 ASV

⁵  Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, cease, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.

⁶  Jehovah repented concerning this: this also shall not be, saith the Lord Jehovah.

⁷  Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.

⁸  And Jehovah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumb-line. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more;

⁹  and the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
