Amos 7:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 7:7

5 Then I said:
“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

7 Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand.

8 And the Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said:
“Behold, ^aI am setting a plumb line
In the midst of My people Israel;
^bI will not pass by them anymore.

9 ^aThe¹ high places of Isaac shall be desolate,
And the¹ sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste.
^bI will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam.”
