5 Then I said, 'Lord Yahweh, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.'
6 Yahweh relented concerning this. 'This also shall not be,' says the Lord Yahweh.
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 Yahweh said to me, 'Amos, what do you see?' I said, 'A plumb line.' Then the Lord said, 'Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
9 The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.'
