A vision of a plumb line
7 This is what the Lord showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall, with a plumb line in his hand. 8 The Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”
“A plumb line,” I said.
Then the Lord said,
“See, I am setting a plumb line
in the middle of my people Israel.
I will never again forgive them.
9 The shrines of Isaac will be made desolate,
and the holy places of Israel will be laid waste,
and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”

7 他 又 指 示 我 一 件 事 ： 有 一 道 牆 是 按 準 繩 建 築 的 ， 主 手 拿 準 繩 站 在 其 上 。
8 耶 和 華 對 我 說 ： 阿 摩 司 啊 ， 你 看 見 甚 麼 ？ 我 說 ： 看 見 準 繩 。 主 說 ： 我 要 吊 起 準 繩 在 我 民 以 色 列 中 ， 我 必 不 再 寬 恕 他 們 。
9 以 撒 的 邱 壇 必 然 淒 涼 ， 以 色 列 的 聖 所 必 然 荒 廢 。 我 必 興 起 ， 用 刀 攻 擊 耶 羅 波 安 的 家 。

7 Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand. 8 And the Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”

Then the Lord said:
“Behold, (A)I am setting a plumb line
In the midst of My people Israel;
(B)I will not pass by them anymore.
9 (C)The [a]high places of Isaac shall be desolate,
And the [b]sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste.
(D)I will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam.”
