The
LORD said to me,
"What do you
see,
Amos?" And I
said, "A
plumb line." Then the
Lord said,
"Behold I am about to
put a
plumb line In the
midst of My
people Israel. I will
spare them
no longer *.

Then
Amaziah, the
priest of
Bethel,
sent word to
Jeroboam king of
Israel,
saying,
"Amos has
conspired against you in the
midst of the
house of
Israel; the
land is
unable * to
endure all his
words.

"For
thus Amos says,
'Jeroboam will
