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.'
