And LORD said to me, Amos, what do thou see? And I said, A plumb-line. Then LORD said, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

But do not prophesy again any more at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.

And he said, Amos, what do thou see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then LORD said to me, The end has come upon my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be plucked up out of their land which I have given them, says LORD thy God.
