Amos 7:5Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read VersionBut I said, “Lord GOD, stop, I beg you! Jacob cannot survive! He is too small!” See the chapter |
Let the priests, the Lord’s servants, cry between the porch and the altar. All of them should say this: “Lord, have mercy on your people. Don’t let your people be put to shame. Don’t let other people tell jokes about your people. Don’t let the other nations laugh at us and say, ‘Where is their God?’”
People will not be ashamed of the small beginnings, and they will be very happy when they see Zerubbabel with the plumb line, measuring and checking the finished building. Now the seven sides of the stone you saw represent the eyes of the Lord looking in every direction. They see everything on earth.”
