The Lord relented concerning this. "This will not happen either," said the Lord God .
Amos 7:6 In-Context
4
This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: The Sovereign LORD was calling for judgment by fire; it dried up the great deep and devoured the land.
5
Then I cried out, “Sovereign LORD, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!”
6

7
This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb, with a plumb line in his hand.
8
And the LORD asked me, “What do you see, Amos?” “A plumb line,” I replied. Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.
