Amos 7:6-8

Living Bible

⁶ Then the Lord turned from this plan too, and said, “I won’t do that either.”

⁷ Then he showed me this: The Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, checking it with a plumb line to see if it was straight. ⁸ And the Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”

I answered, “A plumb line.”

And he replied, “I will test my people with a plumb line. I will no longer turn away from punishing.
