THIRD VISION: A PLUMB LINE

7 He showed me this: The Lord was standing there by a vertical wall with a plumb line in his hand. 8 The Lord asked me, “What do you see, Amos?”x

I replied, “A plumb line.”

Then the Lord said, “I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel;y I will no longer spare them:z

9 Isaac’s high placesaa will be deserted,

and Israel’s sanctuaries will be in ruins;ab

I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam

with a sword.”
