The Vision of the Plumb Line

This is what he showed me: The Lord stood by a ·straight wall [L wall built with a plumb line], with a plumb line in his hand. The Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”

I said, “A plumb line.”

Then the Lord said, “·See [T Behold], I will put a plumb line among my people Israel [C to show how crooked they are]. I will not ·look the other way [spare them; L pass by them] any longer.

“·The places where Isaac’s descendants worship [L The high places of Isaac; C places of pagan worship] will be destroyed,
    Israel’s ·holy places [sanctuaries] will be turned into ruins,
and I will ·attack [L rise up against] King Jeroboam’s ·family [house] with the sword.”
