Amos 7:7-9
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.”

New King James Version
Vision of the Plumb Line
7 Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand. 8 And the Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”
And I said, “A plumb line.”
Then the Lord said:
“Behold, (A)I am setting a plumb line
In the midst of My people Israel;
(B)I will not pass by them anymore.
9 (C)The [a]high places of Isaac shall be desolate,
And the [b]sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste.
(D)I will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam.”
