Amos 7:7-13

7So He showed me, and behold, the Lord was standing 1by a 2vertical wall with a plumb line in His hand. 8And the Lord said to me, “3What do you see, Amos?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold I am about to put a 4plumb line In the midst of My people Israel. I will not 56spare them any longer.9The 7high places of Isaac will become deserted, And the 8sanctuaries of Israel will be in ruins. Then I will 9rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”

10Then Amaziah, the 10priest of Bethel, sent word to 11Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has 12conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is unable to endure all his words. 11For this is what Amos says: ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.’” 12Then Amaziah said to Amos, “13Go, you seer, flee to the land of Judah; and eat bread there and do your prophesying there! 13But 14do not prophesy at Bethel any longer, for it is a 15sanctuary of the king and a royal 16residence.”
