Amos 7:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Then I cried out, “Lord and King, please stop! How can Jacob’s people continue? They are such a weak nation!”

⁶ So the Lord had pity on them.

“I will let them continue for now,” the Lord and King said.

⁷ Then the Lord gave me a third vision. He was standing by a wall. It had been built very straight, all the way up and down. He was holding a plumb line.
