International Children’s Bible
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.

Israel’s holy places will be turned into ruins.
And I will attack King Jeroboam’s family with the sword.”
