Amos 7:3-8

ACV(i) 3 LORD relented concerning this. It shall not be, says LORD. 4 Thus the lord LORD showed me: And, behold, the lord LORD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land. 5 Then I said, O lord LORD, cease, I beseech thee. How shall Jacob stand, for he is small? 6 LORD relented concerning this. This also shall not be, says the lord LORD. 7 Thus he showed me: And, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand. 8 And LORD said to me, Amos, what do thou see? And I said, A plumb-line. Then the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
