A Plumb-line — Amos 7:7–9

Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.

And Jehovah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou?

And I said, A plumb-line. Then said the Lord,

Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more;

and the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
