Amos 7:6 Context
4¶ Thus hath the Lord God shewed vnto me; and behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it deuoured the great deepe, and did eate vp a part. 5Then said I, O Lord God , cease, I beseech thee, by whom shal Iacob arise? for he is small. 6The Lord repented for this. This also shall not bee, saith the Lord God. 7¶ Thus hee shewed mee, and behold, the Lord stood vpon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. 8And the Lord said vnto mee, Amos, what seest thou? And I sayd, A plumb-line. Then sayd the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel, I will not againe passe by them any more.
