The plumb line in the Lord’s hand, which the speaker sees
말하는 이가 본, 주께서 손에 잡으신 다림줄
Amos 7:7–9: the speaker (“I”) says, “Thus he showed me: behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. The LORD said to me, ‘Amos, what do you see?’ I said, ‘A plumb line.’” Then the Lord says, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more. The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.” The Korean Revised Version names no one who shows at 7:7 (또 내게 보이신 것이 이러하니라) or who speaks first at 7:8 (내게 이르시되 아모스야), where WEB reads “he showed me” and “The LORD said to me”.

All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
