Amos 7:6-8

New International Version - UK

⁶ So the Lord relented.

‘This will not happen either,’ the Sovereign Lord said.

⁷ This is what he showed me: the Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb,^[a] with a plumb-line^[b] in his hand. ⁸ And the Lord asked me, ‘What do you see, Amos?’

‘A plumb-line,’ I replied.

Then the Lord said, ‘Look, I am setting a plumb-line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.
