Amos 7:5-7

Living Bible

⁵ Then I said, “O Lord God, please don’t do it. If you turn against them, what hope is there? For Israel is so small!”

⁶ Then the Lord turned from this plan too, and said, “I won’t do that either.”

⁷ Then he showed me this: The Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, checking it with a plumb line to see if it was straight.
