"I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line; ..."
Isaiah 28:17 (NIV)
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. 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."
Amos 7:7–8 (NIV)
