Amos7:7
7 ¶ Thus he shewed me, and behold , the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumb-line , with a plumb-line in his hand .
Vid. ver. 1. let. b. c.
The Great God, who had long tried Israel and often spared.
Possibly it may denote his fixed purpose now to proceed to demolish this State.
Strongly, regularly and beautifully built, as art could build it.
Ready as an Artist to take the measures of this Wall to discover all the defects of it, and how much 'twas varied from what it was at first built. This shall be the last measuring it, and on this measuring what ever is faulty shall be pulled down though to the very Foundation. This was Visionally represented to the Prophet.
