Amos 7:6 In-Context

4 This is what my Lord Yahweh showed me, and look, my Lord Yahweh was going to call for a legal case with fire, and it devoured the great deep and it ate up the plots of ground.

5 Then I said, "[O] Lord Yahweh, please stop! How can Jacob stand, because he [is] small?"

6 Yahweh also relented concerning this. "This also will not be," said my Lord Yahweh.

7 This is what he showed me: Behold, my Lord [was] standing beside a wall [built with] a plummet, and a plummet [was] in his hand.

8 And Yahweh said to me, "What do you see?" And I said, "A plummet." And my Lord said, "Look, I [am] going to set a plummet in the midst of my people, Israel. I will not pass them by again.
