Amos 7:6-8

New International Version

⁶ So the Lord relented.^(A)

“This will not happen either,” the Sovereign Lord said.^(B)

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,^(C) Amos?^(D)”

“A plumb line,^(E)” I replied.

Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.^(F)
