 Our Old Testament lesson appointed for this day is from the prophet Amos, the seventh chapter, beginning with the seventh verse. This is what the Lord God showed me. Behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. And the Lord said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, a plumb line. Then the Lord said, behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel.
