So He showed me, and behold, the Lord was standing [a]by a [b]vertical wall with a plumb line in His hand. And the Lord said to me, “(A)What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said,

“Behold I am about to put a (B)plumb line
In the midst of My people Israel.
I will not [c](C)spare them any longer.
The (D)high places of Isaac will become deserted,
And the (E)sanctuaries of Israel will be in ruins.
Then I will (F)rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
