TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:8 The Hebrew word translated plumb line (Hebrew ’anak) is similar to the word for groaning (’anakhah, see Isa 35:10; Lam 1:22), alluding to great suffering when God would hold Israel accountable.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

(Occurrence 0) what do you see?

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to=me what you(ms) see ʼĀmōʦ and,said plumb_line and=he/it_said my=master behold,I setting plumb_line in/on/at/with,midst people,my Yisrael not I_will_do_again again/more spare to=him/it )

Yahweh uses a question to teach Amos. Alternate translation: “tell me what you see.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) I will put a plumb line among my people Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said YHWH to=me what you(ms) see ʼĀmōʦ and,said plumb_line and=he/it_said my=master behold,I setting plumb_line in/on/at/with,midst people,my Yisrael not I_will_do_again again/more spare to=him/it )

Judging the people and determining they are wicked is spoken of as if the Israelites were a wall, and Yahweh determines the wall is not straight by using a plumb line. Alternate translation: “my people Israel are wicked. They are like a wall that is not straight up and down”
