“O Lord God, forgive, I pray!

For he is small!”

“It shall not be,” said the Lord.  

Vision of the Fire

“O Lord God, cease, I pray!
aOh, that Jacob may stand,
For he is small!” 
6 So the Lord relented concerning this.
“This also shall not be,” said the Lord God.

Vision of the Plumb Line

“Behold, aI am setting a plumb line
In the midst of My people Israel;
bI will not pass by them anymore.
