(A)The Lord determined to lay in ruins
    (B)the wall of the daughter of Zion;
(C)he stretched out the measuring line;
    he did not restrain his hand from destroying;
(D)he caused rampart and wall to lament;
    (E)they languished together.

(A)This is what he showed me: behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with (B)a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. And the Lord said to me, (C)“Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said,

“Behold, I am setting (D)a plumb line
    in the midst of my people Israel;
    (E)I will never again pass by them;
(F)the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate,
    and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste,
    and I will rise against (G)the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
