Amos 7:7
Compare all
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.”  

Amaziah’s Complaint

10 Then Amaziah the apriest of bBethel sent to cJeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to1 bear all his words.  
11 For thus Amos has said:
‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
And Israel shall surely be led away acaptive
From their own land.’ ”
