English Standard Version
7 (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. 8 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;
9 (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.”
