Amos 7:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ So the Lord felt sorry about this. “This will not happen either,” said the Lord God.

The Vision of the Plumb Line

⁷ This is what the Lord showed me: The Lord stood by a straight wall. He had a plumb line in his hand. ⁸ The Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”

I said, “A plumb line.”

Then the Lord said, “See, I will put a plumb line among my people Israel to show how crooked they are. I will not feel sorry for them any longer.
