Amos 7:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ So the Lord changed his mind about this too. “It will not happen,” said the Lord God.

The Vision of the Plumb Line

⁷ This is what he showed me: The Lord stood by a straight wall, with 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 look the other way any longer.
