This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Thus he shewed me: and, behold: see Amo_7:1.
The Lord; the great God, who had long tried Israel, and often spared.
Stood upon a wall; possibly it may denote his fixed purpose now to proceed to demolish this state.
Made by a plumbline; strongly, regularly, and beautifully built, as art could build it.
With a plumbline in his hand; ready, as an artist, to take the measures of this wall, to discover all the defects of it, and how much it was varied from what it was at first built. This shall be the last measuring it, and on this measuring, whatever is faulty shall be pulled down, though to the very foundation. This was visionally represented to the prophet.
