Amos 7:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵I said:

Lord God, cease, I beg you.
Jacob is so small;
how can he survive?

⁶Thereupon the Lord relented. “This also shall not happen,” said the Lord God.

The Vision of the Plumb Line. ⁷Then the Lord showed me this: he was standing by a wall, with a plumb line in his hand.
