Amos 7:8 in Context — Amos 7

6 [E] o SENHOR se arrependeu disso: Isto também não acontecerá, disse o Senhor DEUS.

7 Assim ele me fez ver: Eis que o Senhor estava sobre um muro que havia sido feito conforme o prumo, e havia um prumo em sua mão.

8 E o SENHOR me disse: O que vês, Amós? E eu disse: Um prumo. Então o Senhor disse: Eis que eu porei um prumo no meio de meu povo Israel; não mais o tolerarei.

9 E os altos de idolatria de Isaque serão arruinados, e os santuários de Israel serão arruinados; e me levantarei com espada contra a casa de Jeroboão.

10 Então Amazias, o sacerdote de Betel, mandou mensagem a Jeroboão, rei de Israel, dizendo: Amós tem conspirado contra ti no meio da casa de Israel; esta terra não poderá suportar todas as suas palavras.
