Amos 7:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ Then I cried out, “Lord God, stop! How could Israel live through this? It is too small already.”

⁶ So the Lord changed his mind about this too. “It will not happen,” said the Lord God.

The Vision of the Plumb Line

⁷ This is what he showed me: The Lord stood by a straight wall, with a plumb line in his hand.
