Amos 7:7 YLT

⁵  'Lord Jehovah, cease, I pray Thee, How doth Jacob arise -- for he 'is' small?'

⁶  Jehovah hath repented of this, 'It also shall not be,' said the Lord Jehovah.

⁷  Thus hath He shewed me, and lo, the Lord is standing by a wall 'made according to' a plumb-line, and in His hand a plumb-line;

⁸  and Jehovah saith unto me, 'What art thou seeing, Amos?' And I say, 'A plumb-line;' and the Lord saith: 'Lo, I am setting a plumb-line in the midst of My people Israel, I do not add any more to pass over to it.

⁹  And desolated have been high places of Isaac, And sanctuaries of Israel are wasted, And I have risen against the house of Jeroboam with a sword.'
